1. What is the deeper Patriotism?
To go along with the current Administration because some lawmakers don't want to be seen as "soft on terrorism" and against the troops or ask the tough questions and investigate the Pentagon structure and strategy because such questioning may save the lives of people in combat?

Is it patriotic to defend Halliburton and contracts to other companies that result in faulty equipment that fails to protect our troops in battle situations or should lawmakers demand accountability and oversight in the very name of those troops?

I know what I think the higher patriotic act is.
