This is Why These Fuckers Win Elections.

Ramesh Ponnuru, Reasonable Conservative:

I agree with Jay. The Democrats have a way of talking about how much they support the troops that treats them as a victim group in need of subsidies, but rarely suggests that they have accomplished anything. Note that Michelle Obama closed her reference to the troops by talking about their need for mental health care when they get home. I'm all for mental health services for people suffering from PTSD. But the overall impression is that what the Democrats stand for is post-defeat therapy.


"Post-defeat therapy"? It's morbidly funny that Ponnuru and the gang can simultaneously impugn the patriotism of Democrats and play down the effects of PSTD, which afflicts, and will afflict, an absurd number of vets.
