I am sorry to have been unclear. I found the soldier to be extremely compelling. And I found the comments by Jeb to be disturbing.
His comment is a typical meme now circulating. It's the "If you don't join the military then you are not qualified to comment" argument. This is an illogical argument.
This along with sarcastic comments and shame/guilt based rhetoric are some of the clearest reasons that I, as a moderate, lean more right than left.
I am not sure what he intends to do with his comment, but he pushes me further away from his ideal with his comment.
It was *he* that I was confused by, not the soldier.
