Seems Republican Veterans running for office don’t fit the liberal main stream media agenda.

PoughkeepsieJournal.com - Lalor says Iraq veterans running for GOP are ignored

WASHINGTON — Peekskill resident Kieran Lalor says the 17 Republican congressional candidates who are Iraq veterans and support the war aren’t getting the attention they deserve in an election cycle dominated by the presidential race. The GOP field is three times as large as the group of six anti-war Iraq veterans who received national attention when they ran for Congress as Democrats two years ago, Lalor said.

One commentor on the article takes Democrat opportunist nutroot favorite John Hall to task;

John Hall has prided himself in working for the plight of veterans.

However, his support for the heroic Veterans seems somewhat questionable in the big picture. He supports Veterans yet undermines the effort of current military personnel by favoring immediate withdrawal in Iraq.

John Hall has failed to perform on his campaign promise to push for immediate withdrawal. Instead, he has been a puppet for left wing fringe groups who believe the Iraq war is the worse thing ever to happen in history by constantly passing on anti-war moveon.org talking points. Immediate Withdrawal is his mantra, yet only 20% of Americans favor such a hastily planned approach. Now, John Hall is moving a bit away from a cut and run mentality. This should upset some the left wing cut and run fanatics…

John Hall, like the rest of Democratic controlled congress, failed to end the war in Iraq. The war will continue and troops will be withdrawn, but like other parts of the world in which the U.S. toppled brutal dictators, the U.S. will remain there for a long time to come to ensure that the people of Iraq can experience liberty and freedom–not rape and torture rooms run by a tyrannical dictator.

So, if it was up to John Hall, a troop withdrawal would begin compromising the progress in Iraq. This would give way and make Iraq a bigger breeding ground for terrorism. John Hall likes cutting and running from tough situations that call for leadership and bravery in the ideal of liberty and freedom. His roots of cutting and running goes decades back to when he apparently dodged the draft…to become a ski instructor!

The credence of this story is questionable, however John Hall can answer whether or not he decided to teach skiing instead of rising to the call of duty and serving his Country (no matter how unjust the Vietnam may have been).

Duty. Honor, and Country. This is something John Hall knows little of…however he does know something about skiing apparently.
