Yesterday, one of the CNN headlines talked about the Department of Defense extending Army deployments to 15 months. Yeah, okay. We kind of knew that was going to happen. But to add insult to injury, I had to hear the Secretary of Defense utter these words:
"What we're trying to do here is provide some long-term predictability to our soldiers and their families."
Bullshit. What you are trying to do is cover your ass and spin this so it's not about the mistakes that your predecessor and the Bush Administration made in administrating this war. And it sucks big time. Let's face it, you aren't fooling the public. Polls show the majority against the war. And what's worse, by trying to spin this in such a horrible manner, you risk alienating your military families. Screw you, hippie.
And what's worse? I wasn't sure if I was relieved or completely maddened when the story headline was replaced on CNN with one about how Larry Birkhead was not planning to share custody of Dannielynn.
