Fleeing the state to avoid doing your job — that is, refusing to accept that the will of the voters have put you in a position whereby you might not get what you want — is now akin to serving your country in Afghanistan.
It follows in this fantastical scenario, of course, that by my pointing out how this cowardly squeakhole (and those like him) engaged in a de facto overthrow of the the representative republic, I’ve taken on the role of Taliban terrorist. Or perhaps Ted Rall.
So you see? WHY DO I HATE FREEDOM?

Is that Dave Cheatham of Dewey, Cheatham and Howe fame?
All I can say that his next election opponent’s campaign is writing itself.

I heard one of the heroes had to flee without her bottle of contact lens solution, and had to send someone to the CVS to get some.
And you disparage their sacrifice!
Missed this at first glance.

Mom fails to see the humor.

LB: wow, what an awful joke. I don’t think I’d be in front of troops very much longer if I were to tell that particular yarn…
Some people are begging to get kicked in the teeth.
Might I suggest the phrase “gutless squeakhole”? More punch.
It has been rumored that an Afghan mullah burned a Betamax copy of Hoosiers. I hope no one goes berserk and beheads the POS we see here.
Not that it wouldn’t be justified – after all, they were provoked. It’s not their fault. Right?
You, sir, are not good enough to lick the sand from my sons combat boots.
I think we need to send Cheatham to Afghanistan to build some schools.
