Rangel Responses

Remember Charles Rangel's charming comments about the military? Let me refresh your memory:

I want to make it abundantly clear: if there’s anyone who believes that these youngsters want to fight, as the Pentagon and some generals have said, you can just forget about it. No young, bright individual wants to fight just because of a bonus and just because of educational benefits. And most all of them come from communities of very, very high unemployment. If a young fella has an option of having a decent career or joining the army to fight in Iraq, you can bet your life that he would not be in Iraq.

Here are some responses from current and ex-military personnel. The first one is hilarious, he really has some fun at the expense of Rangel and 'Jon Carry.' Check it out.
