It comes natural enough…

…I suppose, to an Air Force brat and the sister of an Iraq war vet still on active duty and subject to redeployment. Darcy Burner knows deep down what supporting the troops is really all about. And she knows what it isn't, as she explained to DNC members assembled in Chicago...

“We asked our men and women in uniform to go in and take out a government that we told them was a threat to us and they did that in less than three weeks.

We asked them to ensure that there were no weapons of mass destruction that could be a threat to us and they did that.

We asked them to maintain stability while the Iraqis adopted a constitution and elected a new government and they did that.

And at this point, they are sitting over there getting shot at because the Republican Congress and administration in Washington, DC cannot figure out what their plan is to give Iraq back to the Iraqis and bring our troops home, and that has got to stop.

If we can't give them the Commander in Chief they deserve right now, at least we can give them a Congress that cares. This year, supporting the troops starts in the voting booth.

You can support Darcy right here.

Helmet tip to the General.
