Uh-oh, Bob Beauprez has gotten caught wearing a military uniform although he never served in the armed forces, according to New West (and many others). Coyote Gulch worries that the appearance at Front Range airport in June of 2004 may be the equivalent of Howard Dean's "I have a scream," speech that sunk his candidacy. That was dumb Bob.
Best line on the story from Colorado Pols, "Beauprez in Trouble for Playing Dress-Up."
Meanwhile the best perspective on the issue overall comes from Jesus' General. From the General, "It takes a lot of guts to parade around in military garb after requesting and receiving three separate draft deferments and then, finally, a medical release. Unlike you and Our Leader, Eurocrats like John Kerry and Max Cleland took the easier path, earning their right to wear a uniform by serving in combat. Suckers."
