Any of you have scoop on Talk Host Kevin Miller Military Service
We just got him in Pittsburgh - yuck. One of our blogs posted this - anyone from TN have the scoop?

But a curious thing happened during the portion of the program I heard. A woman called in (obviously one of those dangerous anti-war types) and questioned Miller on his own military service. He said that he had been in the service - and added no details.

I found that curious because when a person is asked that question he (or she) usually responds with, "Yes, I served in the Army." or some such answer. Rarely is the answer merely a "Yes."

So I went googling. The furthest I got was this reference from a website called "Renew America." If you look closely (or maybe it's not necessary to look all that closely) you'll see that the website definitely leans to the right. This is all I could find about Mr Miller's military experience:

Morning host Kevin Miller (who, about the time of the Republican primary, replaced long-time WWTN morning host Steve Gill) at first allowed Mr. Kovach to call into his program. Then, suddenly, he began to treat Mr. Kovach in a rude and shameful manner on the air. This included frequently interrupting the candidate, changing the subject frequently, and even playing the song "Yakety Sax" at a loud volume while Mr. Kovach was trying to answer Miller's questions. (Notably, Miller touts himself as a "former Army Reserve journalist," but has also admitted on-air that his military service "just didn't work out" after only a short time.)
Granted, this leaves open a HUGE number of possibilities about the extent of Mr Miller's service. Which branch? When did he join? How long was this "short time"? Why was it so short? What ended it?

1. WWTN is a Repuke mouthpiece.
I haven't listened to it in a # of years. It just got tooo REpuke for me. Steve Gill was OK, but definitely spouted the R agenda. He did sometimes have legitimate points & discussions.

Don't know much about Miller, other than hearing the name. My guess is that he leans farther to the right than Gill. The entire station began leaning more & more blatantly right back when I quit listening.

To my knowledge, we do not have anything in Nashville except R radio. Wish we had Air America so bad!
