Since when does the political left care what military members want? The liberals also started unwanted draft legislation too. When it comes down to a vote on cutting and running as they propose to their base, even many of the democrats don't believe their own rhetoric...or they refuse to publically support it with their votes anyway. That's why democrats are impotent on national security issues, they're out of touch with most of America and the military. If they keep betting on "hate Bush" as a political platform, it'll fail them again. Oh well, some things never change.
