GOP blaming the troops research

[ashling]

Surely there is a concise list somewhere of each time a GOPer has blamed or disparaged the troops, a la Boehner, Gulianni, etc.
This would be a good source for letters to the editor.

2. Thanks

I"m wondering if ther is a concise but fairly comprensive list showing each time someone has done this. I can think of 3 right off the top of my head. I'm sure there are others.

3. The one that I remember best was Guliani blaming the soldiers

for not guarding the explosives that had been sealed at Al Qa Qa and were later all stolen (and being used to attack our troops). Those soldiers followed orders at the beginning of the war and marched straight to the oil fields and Bagdad. Guliani blamed the soldiers, not their leadership in the military or civilian leadership for not guarding those explosives.
