Dave Thul of True North<\/a> sent us link to his post about Daniel Fanning, an IVAW member, and an Al Franken staffer<\/a>, who is contemplating a run at the Minnesota 8th Congressional District seat now occupied by Chip Cravaak<\/a>, a Republican – the first Republican in that seat since 1947.<\/p>\n

There’s a “Draft Daniel Fanning for Congress” Facebook<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

Fanning claims to be an actual Iraq veteran, as compared to most of the organization who haven’t set foot outside of the continental US. He testified at the Winter Soldier hearings in Silver Spring, MD in 2008 and here is his testimony;<\/p>\n

He was just another whiny bitch private. In the same breath he complains that before their vehicles were armored, they had to ride with their weapons pointed out the window and that they had to indiscriminately return fire when when fired upon, but after they got the vehicle armor, they couldn’t return fire. he called that shameful – but what’s really shameful is a pussy who complains no matter what the policy is. <\/p>\n

He also complains that he was forced to engage in bayonet training – his complaint was that there hadn’t been bayonet charges since the Korean War. A real soldier would know that training in all forms of combat might be useful one day, irrespective of the history of that particular skill. <\/p>\n

Also, in his narrow private’s mind, Fanning thinks that the soldier who complained to Rumsfeld about the slow delivery of up-armored vehicles was responsible for the delivery of that equipment because the delivery came after the complaint. Maybe the delivery had already been scheduled and had nothing to do with the complaint – but not in the simple mind of a grousing private. <\/p>\n

He claimed, back in 2008, that the military is broken making that statement based on his vast experience as a truckdriver private. Despite his evaluation, the military beat the insurgency in Irq and prevented a civil war, so I’m not sure what he means by “broken” since they’re still winning wars and kicking ass.<\/p>\n

This is a sad statement about the Democrat Party when they can only attract broke-dick, whiny-ass privates to the party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
