July 8: Honoring Service
RANT: Mark Twain defined a patriot as “the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about.” I find this quote is applicable to both the political cartoon and Jay Ambrose’s July 3 column in the Tyler Morning Telegraph.
While I have come to accept the right-winged slant of this newspaper, I find it disingenuous to offend one warrior while attempting to defend another. General Clark’s comments about Sen. John McCain did not dishonor his service but, in response to a question, expressed his opinion on that service as preparation for the office of President of the United States.
As a 21-year veteran of the armed forces, I am personally offended by anyone or any institution that questions the service of any man or woman who has honorably served this nation, including both Gen. Clark and Sen. McCain.
