Brown calls Ehrlich's comments about military voting "selfishly political" and irresponsible
PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. (August 6, 2010) - Lt. Governor Anthony G. Brown, the highest ranking elected official to serve in Iraq, released the following statement in response to Bob Ehrlich's incredulous and distorted comments about military voting:
"Once again, Bob Ehrlich's playing political games with our military families. First, he attacked Governor O'Malley for visiting our troops in Iraq, and now he's making misleading and irresponsible comments that will discourage our military families from requesting an absentee ballot and exercising their right to vote - a right they are fighting to protect.
"Bob Ehrlich doesn't get it. Our brave servicemembers and their families should not be used to advance the selfish political ambitions of a former governor who doesn't understand what it means to wear the uniform."
Lt. Governor Brown understands that public officials have an obligation to serve those who serve. He has spent a quarter century as a member of the United States Armed Forces, is a Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves and is the nation's highest-ranking elected official to have served a tour of duty in Iraq.

Come on now. The troops are not fighting to protect our right to vote for one of the elite's chosen candidates.
No group or idividual in Iraq or Afghanistan would ever and could ever take away our right to support one of the elite's chosen candidates.
That is simply BS. Fighting to kill Ex-CIA intelligence officers like Tim Osmond - OK. Fighting to kill radical extremist Muslims - OK. Fighting to gaurantee our access to cheap oil - OK. Fighting to keep the control of the poppies and prevent the extremely religious zealots in the Taliban from destroying the poppie fields - OK.
But in no way are our troops fighting to allow us the right to vote for one of the elite's chosen candidates for public office.
Thank you
