Why Now blog:
"This is a core issue for the military. The Israelis won’t talk about much with the Palestinians, but they will negotiate for the remains of their soldiers. We are still actively searching for the remains of Americans killed during the Vietnam War. This is a very important issue for the military. Once the guys with the guns no longer believe the guys with the stars care, once the bonds of loyalty are broken, the military starts to come apart.
"John Kerry blew the punch line to a dumb joke and the Republicans shrieked for an apology. Well an apology isn’t going to cut it for abandoning one of our own. This is a blood insult. An American soldier wasn’t important enough to create diplomatic problems with the Iraqi government, is that what we are to believe? You would have to be pretty damn stupid to stay in a military that put so little value on your life."
