That quote by him is pretty hilarious, considering how many vets we actually have – quite a few, and I think you’re one of them. On top of that, we have people like Stranger on a Train and others who could give whole lectures on current and previous military equipment. We’ve had multi-page discussions on what an aircraft carrier group can do, and many, many intelligent discussions on this modern army vs. that old military.
Maybe he just can’t believe that a vet could be a Democrat or have left-leaning politics, so he assumes we don’t know anything about it. (When I say “we”, I mean this board – I’ve never been in the military or studied the hardware or warfare in general)
