We'll support our troops... when we figure out who they are.

@ 02:58 PM (40 months, 20 days ago)

The DNC loves American troops.  They stand up for veterans and defend military benefits.  They care.  They really do... and when they learn to differentiate between American and Canadian uniforms then maybe we'll buy that load of manure and a bridge, too.

Michelle Malkin has a post up exposing yet another blunder by the DNC.  In their attempt to play to the patriotic nature of Americans and convince voters that they are behind our boys (and girls) even when they don't support the mission, they've put up an attack ad on their website with the headline "New Poll Shows GOP Broken Promises Hurting Our Troops".  Interesting concept.  I didn't know the GOP made promises to Canadian troops.

The pictured soldiers aren't even ours.  The American soldiers (USArmy Special Forces) who wear green berets like the ones pictured in the ad also wear a unit crest on the front of that headgear.  They call it a 'flash'.  The shoulder insignias are not American and on the second photo in the Malkin post, you can almost make out Canada on the sleeve of one of the soldiers in the background. 

The Democratic party leadership so desperate to sway voters by fawning over the troops hasn't even spent enough time with them to recognize the freaking uniform.  They obviously didn't research it, either but you know most average citizens might not recognize the difference.  In fact, the DNC is probably to be banking on citizens and voters being uninformed and gullible enough to miss a lot of things...
