A former U.S. Army officer who served in Iraq charged U.S. President George Bush "continually mismanages and degrades the military."

Democratic Party officials recruited Brandon Friedman to deliver the party's Saturday radio address. Friedman said he had been a member of the Army's 101st Airborne Division and led U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.

He said while he was in the military he stayed away from politics "but now I can no longer remain silent as our commander in chief continually mismanages and degrades the military I have come to love."
