I've had it with the bashing of military contractors. Most of you are clueless as to the nature of the job(s) or the makeup of the families who are sending in loved ones to fill these jobs. These men (some women) are filling a void in OIF and OEF today. Too bad they cannot receive the thanks and gratitude from the likes of the media for all their hard work and sacrifice. To use them as a venue to bash the President and have a political discussion over Iraq is tasteless and shameful. Thank God for all the families participating in this manner within a war zone today. Shame on the media for exploiting this topic and these families.
