In reply to the discussion: Limbaugh will stay on the air as long as the Joint Chiefs find him useful for troop morale... [View all]Junkdrawer
(27,993 posts)24. Look, I remember the Rush Limbaugh Club Gitmo T-Shirt line...

And it wasn't one t-shirt one time. It was a whole line of t-shirts. And Rush would post picture after picture of whole squads proudly wearing the shirts until the civilian hue-and-cry forced that to stop.
And what am I to make of the form letter response from AFN where we are told that their listeners are reqularly polled and Limbaugh is always at the top of said polls?
And OF COURSE there HAS to be many many in uniform who disagree with everything Limbaugh stands for. Bradley Manning, Joe Darby, Major General Antonio M. Taguba etc, etc.
If anything about the tone of my OP makes its seem that I am happy about my conclusions, well, I apologize. Sometimes I have to work up a bit of bluster before I can spit out what I think. Maybe some day I'll get better about that.

You posted it to support your bigoted broad brush smear of US servicemen and women

I'm sure it really pumps up our female troops to be disrespected in such a manner.

Yeah, cutting down the CIC is REALLY good for troop morale. It just doesn't fit.
