Clarence Thomas Wears Combat Boots?
This quote, from Aziz Huq's analysis of Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, pretty much says it all:
Ironically, Justice Thomas refers to Justice Stevens' "unfamiliarity with the realities of warfare"; but Stevens served in the U.S. Navy from 1942 to 1945, during World War II. Thomas’s official bio, by contrast, contains no experience of military service.Sort of like how, on the one hand, we have a bunch of retired military officers opposed to the administration's policies on torture, and on the other hand, we have notable non-veterans like Dick Cheney and David Addington insisting that their critics are unfamiliar with the "realities of warfare"…

To heck with combat boots, how about someone that can pull a lanyard on an artillery piece? LOL
War is ugly, war is expensive, war wastes lives, war is one of those things you want to have over and done with as soon as humanly possible. Our troops don't need a fan dance, they need a leadership team that'll put an end to the current conflict and do it quick-like. They didn't deliberately drag out WWII, why do that way now?
