Veterans return to fight for votes; Campaigns for Congress are the new battlegrounds

YAY!!! :D

I'm fed up with the administration's handling of Iraq. (And I'm a conservative!) Problem is, anytime you verbally oppose what the president is doing, your patriotism is questioned by some conservatives. Telling people I'm a veteran usually shuts them up on that score. Hopefully these vets will have similar luck. I wish them the best.
