Cheney was of military age and a supporter of the Vietnam War but he did not serve in the war, applying for and receiving five draft deferments. On May 19, 1965, Cheney was classified as 1-A , "available for service" by the Selective Service. On October 26, 1965 the Selective Service lifted the constraints on drafting childless married men. Cheney and his wife then had a child after which he applied for and received, a reclassification of 3-A, gaining him a final draft deferment.

The last time I looked, there were no markings on any US military uniform that identified the wearer as a liberal or conservative. Each person that has that uniform is sworn to uphold the constitution, even to the point of giving his life, if need be. Although some of the liberals you have listed turned out to be loud mouthed and long winded, they do have my respect for not running to Canada. Kerry has my loathing for his commislamic anti-military shenanigans.

Why do you hate American veterans because of their political affiliation?
I was in Vietnam, Air Ambulance Platoon, 326th Medical Battalion, attached to the 101st Airborne Division, aka Eagle Dustoff.
Go away and leave America to Americans.

You don't have much choice, do you? US Soldiers die in Iraq in their thousands, others deserted the army in their tens of thousands. So what else do you want?

Well you have to realize that lib-tards are losers with at best a tenuous grip on reality...
Lib-tards who are long on ignorance (and apparently proud of it) and whine and short on substance and common sense...
In a lib-tard's delusional world why can't they be a G.I. Joe?...LOL!
Playing with dolls is about as close as they get to the real world...

Last I remember, Bush nor Cheney ever served in the army. Neither did boy toy Limbag or O'Smiley.
Hypocritical, aren't we?

You said it all.
Many phony war heroes were never in a war zone. Many were never in the service.
Democrat Politicians who claim to be heroes, always seem to despise our military, and other vets.
