I try to listen to him once a year, whether I want to or not. I heard him go on today for fifteen minutes about how obviously any military service is going to give a presidential candidate important experience concerning national security. On the other hand, he doesn’t think some veterans are qualified — namely, “leftist generals” who think America’s the cause of the world’s problems and so they “don’t want to use our military.” Only those military men who are happy to see their younger counterparts die in remote countries are tough on terror.
