Dec. 7th, 2007 12:01 pmSen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on our losses in Iraq.
“I won't tell you everything is great in Iraq; it is not. But we want to keep a steady flow of funds so that we don't disrupt the military,” said McConnell. “Unfortunately, most of our friends on the other [side of the a]isle are having a hard time admitting things are getting better; some days I almost think the critics of this war don't want us to win. Nobody is happy about losing lives but remember these are not draftees, these are full-time professional soldiers."
So, I guess if you volunteered (even if it was for the National Guard or Reserve, not the active-duty military), then it doesn't matter so much if you die...
(I've added my own edit to see if I can repair his broken English; unless he really *meant* to refer tot he UK...)
