In case you missed it, there's a good report in today's PostPartisan
(Washington Post on line) calling attention to a number of issues where
Republican positions cause problems for the military. Here is a link to the Post article. The article itself has a link to to an article by Heather Hurlburt in Democracy Arsenal.
Hurlburt lists five issue: 1. Law of the Sea (I worked on this treaty
thirty years ago - the Navy has always supported it); 2.
Alternative energy; 3. Who jails terror suspects (professional military
officers don't want to be jailers); 4. Iran (not a war the military
wants); 5. Pentagon Budget (GOP wants some weapons the pentagon doesn't
want).
I can think of other issues - GOP cares nothing for the troops, but a lot for contractors, for example.
As Memorial Day approaches, we should focus on the troops.
