Adam is disgraceful. I regret the modest help I gave his campaign. Never again.
Even after he made himself radioactive by acting out at the McStain convention, the Pauls supported his campaign and endorsed him, even while Rand was running. They didn't have to help such a longshot who had damaged himself so badly. It was, after all, his own fault that his discharge status was downgraded.
what do you mean about his discharge status was downgraded?
He wore a cut-down version of military uniform to his anti-Iraq protests. He had been warned about political events while wearing the uniform.
He was brought up on charges, expelled from the Individual Ready Reserve, and his honorable discharge was revoked and the panel recommended he be given a "general discharge" (keeps vet benefits) or a "dishonorable discharge" (no benefits).
I think they finally settled on "general discharge". Employers who hire a lot of vets will think twice about hiring him with that on his record.
It hurt his run for Congress too. Yet Ron and Rand stuck with him, funded him.
All soldiers should be protesting the useless, unnecessary waste of lives, especially the lives of the innocent. And of course the other costs of all these wars which Congress has never declared would bankrupt any nation.
