"No young, bright individual wants to fight just because of a bonus and just because of educational benefits."

So says Democrat Charles Rangel about our soldiers in Iraq. I have to say I agree with that statement. They aren't fighting just to get benefits. They are fighting because they believe in the cause they signed up for.

Great stuff over at Villainous Company, where Cassandra explains why you can't take Rangel's words at face value. Just like John Kerry, he obviously doesn't mean to insult our military, just point out how they are all poor, uneducated, and unemployable. He meant to say...well, what did he mean to say?

Please read the rest of Cassandra's post. I'm sure you'll come away feeling as sorry for Rangel as I did.
