106-year old WWI veteran speaks on the Iraq war.

Out of the mouths of the military experience man....

Thinkprogress:

This weekend, Frank W. Buckles, traveled to Arlington National Cemetary for a ceremony honoring his service in World War I. Buckles, 106 years old, is one of just three known suriving World War I veterans. Asked about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Buckles told the Washington Post, “I’m no authority, but I’m not in favor of war unless it’s an emergency.”

Here's a brave Vet speaking about war yet we see a President who was scared and his Daddy got him out of serving the Military and a VP who got 5 deferments and hide behind his wife.

Wow, I am amazed there are still WWII vets left much less WWI, and the guy is still sharp enough to know what is what.
