Article is here.
We should support the troops by educating the public. Ribbons, magnets, and pins don’t do that.

The liberals are destroying this country by spreading misinformation and promoting intellectual laziness all for political expediency.

Edit: I actually read the article now.. Seems he (and others) want the government to pay for higher education for returning troops after their tour is over. I agree with this. Normally I have a knee jerk reaction that says "NO!!!" to all new government spending and all expanded government spending however we owe this to our troops and it is an investment that will pay dividends for this country generations to come.
