Chesty Puller Would have Given a Different Answer



The Seeing Red Az Blog posted this video of their (hard-to-describe-on- a-family-oriented-Blog) Congressional Representative Gabrielle Giffords questioning General David Petraeus.

Giffords, apparently oblivious to the fact that the U.S. is enmeshed in two wars (and the fact that the one in Afghanistan is not going well at the moment), is more concerned with our carbon footprint than with the lives and welfare of our troops - not to mention what it will take to bring about victory. Who votes for such people?

If Chesty Puller were still alive and Giffords had asked him the same question, his response, in addition to being unprintable, would have been priceless.
