The fact that there are so many Iraqi war vets running as Democrats this year says that once monolithic support for the GOOP within the military has vanished.

Damn right it was meant to try to wedge the military from voting for Democrats...specifically Webb (who I think this slime was aimed at)...as their polling was probably showing him winning the vote in and around Virginia Beach which surely would doom Felix Allen to Macacville. It was also hoped to shake loose a few votes, maybe, in Missouri and any other race where there's a heavy consentration of military votes. Their polling must show this once solid voting bloc is either going off the reservation or staying home.

Now let's see how the Repugnicans tap dance around Bonner's remarkts and those of many others who have attemtped to wrap their own hypcrocies in an American flag. Of all those who feigned "moral outrage", how many voted against veterans benefits or sending body armor to the troops or any of a number of profiteering games. One thing that many Iraqi vets and their families know and feel is the arrogance and incompetence of the civilian leadership. John Kerry didn't change that. Only a vote next Tuesday will.
