I am sickened by the pointless comments made by some on the left in the bloggosphere that are disrespectful without offering alternatives.

Just as some on the left shit on all cops, they'll shit on all soldiers because they think they are somehow enlightened or superior, as if showing signs of respect or support is a RW talking point.

Thanks for the post.
