\"Polish<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Our buddy, Jeff Schogol, sends us a link to Leo Shane’s article at Military Times<\/a>. Leo caught the Democrat National Committee mistaking a group of Polish war veterans for US war veterans on their website while bragging about their “commitment to America’s veterans” using the picture above to portray US veterans;<\/p>\n

The president had been cropped out, but faces of four elderly veterans wearing European-style military uniforms were visible above several paragraphs asserting the party\u2019s \u201ccommitment to America\u2019s veterans.\u201d The Polish military\u2019s White Eagle insignia was clear on the headgear of two of the veterans.<\/p>\n

While largely harmless, the error points to a common complaint among U.S. veterans groups about the lack of knowledge of many Americans about military life, tradition and challenges.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I’m pretty sure most Americans wouldn’t mistake the heroes in the picture above for Americans. Leo pointed the error out to the DNC which changed the graphic fairly quickly;<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank Military Times for bringing this to our attention and have now fixed the photograph on our website,\u201d DNC spokesman Eric Walker said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s passing a new GI Bill, tax credits for hiring veterans, or reducing homelessness among veterans, the Democratic Party\u2019s commitment to our nation\u2019s heroes is unwavering.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pretty words, but it’s no wonder that so many phony veterans slip through to unearned benefits when even the party hierarchy at the Democrat Party can’t spot a foreign veteran. Of course, you really have to care in order to make the distinction, you know, beyond the pretty words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
