NYT: Tale of a Chicken Hawk Taker--L. Graham
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/04/opinion/lindsey-grahams-curious-military-career.html?WT.mc_id=2015-AUGUST-OUTBRAIN-EMAILED_AUD_DEV-0801-0831&WT.mc_ev=click&ad-keywords=AUDDEVREMARK&_r=0snip:
By all accounts, including his own, Senator Lindsey Graham was a good military lawyer during the six and a half years he spent on active duty in the Air Force before he entered politics.
Since leaving active duty in 1989 and joining the Air Force Reserve, Mr. Graham, a Republican from South Carolina who is running for president, appears to have performed very little substantive work for the Air Force. Yet, he rose in rank to colonel and remained in the service until his retirement in June, which entitles him to a monthly $2,773 pension.
Banging the war drums on Iran, collecting an undeserved pension, Graham is the typical Reich Wing chicken hawk, hold your coat while you fight, low-life.
