The United States Marines: Our nation’s pooper-scoopers for the Taliban
By Andrea Widburg
During the Vietnam War, the Democrats made their loathing for the military patently clear. Troops were called baby killers and spat upon when they returned home. In subsequent years, Democrats realized that this was a politically untenable position in a nation with a citizen army, so they cleaned up their act. However, they never changed their core beliefs. Nothing makes that more clear than the last order given to the Marines in Afghanistan: Clean feces out of the airport to make it nice for the Taliban.
From 1973 through 1991, the Democrats were able to ignore the American military. There were no big wars going on, which allowed people to forget how cruelly the Democrat party treated the Vietnam vets. The vets, of course, never forgot (nor should they), but life resumed a normal tenor, and things went smoothly.
During the first Iraq War, Democrats discovered that Americans supported the troops, who were their husbands, fathers, and sons. And because the war ended quickly and cleanly, there was no political hay to be made from showing hatred toward the military.
When George Bush activated U.S. troops after 9/11, there was enough patriotism floating through the air so that the anti-war protests were against Bush, not against our troops. Democrats were wise enough to know that open hostility would be a mistake.
