Right winger Mark Davis, just like right winger Rush Limbaugh, spent zero time in uniform. I, a left winger, have spent 26 years (and counting).
In short, I showed my "disdain for people who wear the uniform" by putting one on at age 17, not taking it off, and spending 2004 and 2005 in Iraq.
When davis can top that, I'll start acknowledging his credibility.

Mr. News
The key to being a "true patriot" is something that you, me or 1st Republic can never understand.
A true patriot is someone who worships the military from afar. Usually from the safety of their sofa, TV or Radio Studio or dorm room, not anyone who actually served.
