John Hawkins attended an event for Fred Smith, Republican Gubernatorial candidate in North Carolina: A Fred Smith Rally In Wilmington. Interesting post overall, but here's the standout, from an interview John did with Congressional candidate Will Breazeale, an Iraq Vet:
"I was a protocol officer for a 3 star general on my second deployment to the Middle-East and sure enough, here comes Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid in the door for their briefing before they go to see soldiers. And they got so frustrated from their lack of knowledge of military operations, like the acronyms we use or even what an up armored Humvee was, between level 2 or 3 armor, that they got frustrated, got up in the middle of this briefing with Lt. General Whitcomb, commander of Third Army, and left in disgust. And I said, "who are these people to do that?"
Our policy critics.
