Vet vs. Vet

I'm on my way to take the Army physical (just a doctor's exam, not the endurance test yet) and the ASVAB (Armed Forced Vocational Aptitude Battery) and will be offline for a couple days, I guess they have a special doctor's exam for over-40 recruits (more poking and prodding?) that takes a while longer and requires a night on the base (Great Lakes).

In the meantime, enjoy this C-SPAN Washington Journal with two Iraqi vets. My headline is a bit misleading because the anti-war vet, Michael Blake is pretty outspoken, whereas the Marine, Wade Zirkle isn't necessarily "pro-war." Actually, after watching it again, Zirkle is just as forceful in his position as conscientious objector Blake.

Here's how C-SPAN describes it on their website:

Michael Blake, Iraq Veterans Against the War, & Wade Zirkle, Vets for Freedom Action Fund, discuss the affect of the War in Iraq on the elections.
Most of the callers, as usual, are morons.
