Don't you just love wingnut logic? Or rather, its non-existence.
John Kerry asked to be sent to a forward position and had three purple hearts.
Wingnut response: Swift boat his record with lies and distortions and mock his military service by wearing purple band-aids.
Bush says he was drunk from 16 to 42, used his daddy's pull to get into the Texas National Guard. Refused (in writing) to go to a forward position, goes AWOL because his coke use would show up on a mandatory physical.
Wingnut response: Isn't he wonderful?
So we get Bush/ Cheney; who as neo-cons to the bone, don't serve but love to start wars.
Wingnut response: Their CHICKENHAWK status doesn't matter at all.
Now we have Obama, whom I believe never was draft age and Biden who avoided Vietnam with student deferments. But neither of them were in favor of supporting the hog trough for the military industrial complex, also known as the Vietnam war, nor were they promoting the war. Therefore they were in fact the antithesis of chickenhawks and as a bonus they have managed to untangle us from the wingnut war in Iraq.
Wingnut response: Yep, the two biggest CHICKENHAWKS are running the Country...
Along comes Romney, the veritable poster boy for chickenhawkery and Ryan who is for spending trillions on the war machine but shows his personal bravery by attacking womens' rights and old peoples' incomes.
Wingnut response: Aren't they wonderful? Their CHICKENHAWK status doesn't matter at all.
