supporting the troops

the antic muse has been listening to Rush on our behalf again:

Rush Limbaugh spotlights the heartwarming (and ass-cooling) story of how voluntary donations are our military's real secret weapon
and comes to this conclusion:
Aside from bringing a whole new meaning to the phrase, "all volunteer army," Rush seems to suggest that the next time a soldier runs low on something the armed forces should have "totally covered," mom should send him a new one: "Dear Mike, I've enclosed your little sister's new class picture, the latest Limp Biskit CD, some of those brownies you like, and, oh yes, a brand new automatic assault rifle. Kill the bastards, sweetie!"

I don't know about you, but this perspective on military readiness frankly scares the shit out of me.

But it is about what one expect's from rush and the bushies. Oh, and given the plentiful electricity in Iraq just what power source will they be using for the AC?
