About five months ago,
former Al Gore advisor Naomi Wolf went on Fox News and said, "We need to get our babies out of Iraq." In spite or perhaps because of its shocking offensiveness, Wolf's comment revealed the way some members of the left think about the American military - as a hapless collection of dupes, rubes and children. The organization Vets For Freedom exists partly to rebuke that notion, and the ad above will hopefully introduce people like Naomi Wolf to the real nature of our military. The men and women who signed up to join our armed forces personify John F. Kennedy's notion of a people willing to "bear any burden." They don't want to get "the babies" (i.e themselves and their brothers and sisters in arms) out of Iraq. They want to win.
