Greyhawk has a good post about how two-faced the Democrats are. Senator Harkin flipped out four years ago because Bush/Cheney didn't have enough military experience and John Kerry did, but now that the Republican nominee has way more military experience than the Dem candidates, now Harkin says that too much military service is a bad thing.
For heaven's sake. Someone needs to remind these people that teh internets keep copies of their old statements.

Unlike being a "relatively safe" POW for over 5 years. (Yes, someone did say that exact phrase to me).
