convention. He said was talking about John McCain's honorable family history of military service, which I have no problem with, but he went on to describe how McCain's own son will be deploying on Christmas day to Iraq.
Here is a you tube clip of the Thompson speech if you advance the video to 5min. 40 second thats the exact moment that he states when he is being deployed.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0sYZZYw7-U When I was in we were not allowed to talk about dates of possible deployments, it may seem small to those who do not understand. However if terrorists collect enough bits and pieces that can put the puzzle together about deployment schedules and troop movements.
I see you are in or were in the military and should know this, I carried a secret clearance when I served and worked with the spook community. I understand all to well the ramifications of these people dribbling out bits and pieces of classified information. Either they are giving up troop movement info (and in turn endangering our troops)or they are lying about these things to the American public and need to be called on it publicly.
