I never felt that Marie Harf was one of the brighter crayons in the box.\u00a0 Her opinion about most anything took a dive with me a few years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot win this war by killing them. We cannot kill our way out of this war,\u201d Harf said at the time. Harf continued,\u201d We can help them build their economies so they can have job opportunities for these people,\u201d. The comment\u00a0led to a top-ten hashtag on Twitter that day, #JobsforISIS.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All I was asking was to Give War a Chance.\u00a0 I thought the problem was having to ask permission to kill people on the battlefield.\u00a0 I could not disagree with her more, we most certainly can kill our way out of these conflicts and we should.<\/p>\n

She is now reporting that Gabby Giffords Gun Group<\/a> is going to use veterans to speak out about the gun problem in this country.<\/p>\n

The organization\u00a0is launching an\u00a0ad\u00a0campaign\u00a0to highlight\u00a0an important\u00a0constituency\u00a0that is\u00a0becoming\u00a0increasingly\u00a0vocal\u00a0in the gun debate:\u00a0prominent\u00a0U.S.\u00a0military\u00a0leaders\u00a0and veterans.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0new\u00a0ad\u00a0features\u00a0retired\u00a0Lt. Gen.\u00a0Mark Hertling, who experienced\u00a0war\u00a0firsthand\u00a0during his over 37 years in Army.<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0first\u00a0scene,\u00a0Hertling\u00a0opens\u00a0a\u00a0box on his desk containing 253 cards with the names and photos\u00a0of soldiers under his command\u00a0who\u00a0were\u00a0killed\u00a0in combat. He ties the pain he felt on their deaths to\u00a0the pain parents must feel losing a child to gun violence.<\/p>\n

It is\u00a0immediately\u00a0clear\u00a0then\u00a0that this is a new kind of gun safety advocate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have no idea what is new about it.\u00a0 I would say that most all veterans are against Thugs and Criminals using guns.\u00a0 \u00a0Here is one of the adds:<\/p>\n
