Attacks on Republican Presidents’ and candidates’ military records are a normal part of the Democratic Party’s playbook. Think back to 1992 when a few proto-moveon.org types called Bush 41 a war criminal because he may have strafed Japanese survivors in the water. Then in 1996 Democrats hinted that Bob Dole’s service in WWII was over-rated. Of course they were more forward in their attacks on Bush 43′s ANG service because they thought that flying an F-102 was like riding a bicycle. McCain is the next candidate and so they now attack him as unfit because of his heroic service. The Democrats are the anti-military party and they will continue to nominate candidates who not only haven’t had military service but hate the military and its members. They attack the military records of their Republican opponents to compensate for their own lack of service.
