They're pretty camera-ready. But that's a subset of the military tradition: Some vets know how to parlay their experience for the media -- look at Ollie North. Bonus: you can't criticize a disabled vet. (Time was you could if he was a Democrat, like Max Cleland, but no more -- if you could they'd have ragged Tammy Duckworth up and down. Wonder how that came to be.)

The issue of global warming continues to be a reliable and simple litmus test. If someone believes in global warming, then you can be sure he is a globalist who loathes Western civilization.“
