Service matters

Kathryn Jean Lopez carries this letter from the Vets for Freedom, to Gen. Wesley Clark.

It’s both a response to Clark’s comments on McCain, and a series of questions. Here’s a good sample. The quote is from Clark, the followup from the Vets:

“I don’t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be President.”
FACT: If serving your country, volunteering for combat, resisting the enemy, and receiving seventeen decorations for service does count for anything, then why are you on television, speaking as an “expert” on national security matters? Your personal attacks came not from a General with respect for the uniform, but from a political operative dispatched to attack the military background of a political adversary.

They call Clark to practice honor and nobility, which anyone in the service knows well.

Here’s their site.
