The New Code
Nobody who actually supports the troops says “I support the troops” any longer. The words “I support the troops” are now solely for those who oppose what the troops are doing.
UPDATE:
More decoding from Michelle Malkin:
It’s easy for people with no clue about the complexities of logistics to carp about the armor gap at politically expedient times. I think I’ll take the Army’s word over Ted Kennedy’s and the Democrat strategist’s, how about you?
And Military blogger John Noonan at Op-For:
Logistics, manpower, strategy. This is a holy trinity that should never be tampered with by politicians. Never. Especially politicians who seem to have no clue as to how the military operates. You can’t just wave a magic wand and double the size of the special forces, nor can you interject yourself into the troop rotation schedules. And it’s fantasy to think that a politician jumping himherself into the incredibly military logistics infastructure is going to somehow boost our ability to effectively prosecute a war.
