Will the GOP burn the flag thursday night, or wait till November?

[Hubert Flottz]

The "Purple Heart Band-Aids" are part of the degrading of America's real values, at the GOP/Bushco suck fest in NY! Part of trashing further the real American values, like pride in one's service to one's country! What do these people REALLY "value", if the sacrifice of life and limb in defense of one's country means nothing to them, but something to joke and laugh about?

The "Purple Heart Band-Aid stunt is so damned SICK, in so many ways!

5. These are the people who have turned the DoD into the DoO!

We never needed a Department of Offense until the Neocons came along!

This latest Blue Band-Aid "frat prank", further undermines the morale and Esprit de corps of our armed forces at a time of war! This is not how one would support the troops!

Folks we're in Deep DoO-DoO when we attack our Soldiers and Veterans to make political points! A soldier's pride and Esprit de corps are as important a part of the American soldier, as any weapon money can buy them! The GOPers fall far short, in the "Honor" and "Dignitude" department!

I have never been more sickened by anything else I've seen this band of Mothers do! All the GOP has to offer America is Unmitigated Gall!

2. it's sheer desecration..I cannot believe there is not an outcry

3. "Forgive them, for they know not what they do"?

Army Core Values

What is it that inspires and enables ordinary citizens to rise to the challenge of battle, to be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice of their lives in service to their country? What is it that motivates them to respond and contribute wherever and whenever they are called upon to do so? The answer is contained within a single concept: the Army core values. The proud legacy of our Army is grounded in these values:

Loyalty: the code of the American soldier is to bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, the unit, and other soldiers;

Duty: the code of the American soldier is to fulfill obligations;

Respect: the code of the American soldier is to treat people as they should be treated;

Selfless-Service: the code of the American soldier is to put the welfare of the nation, the Army, and subordinates before his or her own;

Honor: the code of the American soldier is to live up to all of the Army's values;

Integrity: the code of the American soldier is to do what's right, legally and morally;

Personal Courage: the code of the American soldier is to face fear, danger, or adversity, whether physical or moral.

Today, these values are the cornerstone of all training our soldiers receive and the standard against which behavior is measured. These are the same values that shaped our Army at Valley Forge, at Normandy, in the sands of Kuwait, in the streets of Mogadishu, and at checkpoints in Bosnia. Values are the American soldiers' credentials, just as our soldiers are America's credentials, both at home and around the globe.

Of course someone who had never served would not know these things!

4. Republican Chickenhawk humor

Sure if your rich daddy could get you out of going to any war, of course you'll look down on the peasants who actually had to go and get wounded in your place.
