The British Military stood by the US when they started two wars, both of which had limited support and questionable legitimacy. What thanks does the Republican movement of today give them for their continued support?
According to Republicans at the Value Voters Conference, military forces which allow gay and lesbian soldiers to serve openly no longer participate in wars, only parades.
Of course, you would expect Republicans not to denigrate the United Kingdom, a Country that stood by the US for two wars of questionable legality. One of them caused because a Republican President, that the likes of the Value Voters Conference continually applauded, failed in his duty to keep his own Country safe in September 2001.
Of course not.
Maginnis: That's why countries like the ten largest militaries in the world, that have the ten largest militaries in the world say 'no, this isn't the thing to do.' They spin this as if Great Britain and we ought to copy them and the Dutch. Well the fact is that 80 percent of the militaries in the world don't embrace this particular view.
Perkins: Well, those that do, they're the ones that participate in parades, they don't fight wars to keep the nation and the world free. So there's a big difference.
There are few words for this. What a way to thank these men.
