Army Times shills for the D's again

Army Times shills for the D's again.

Election 2010: Defense Issues in Turmoil Split Congress, loss of pro-military Democrats bode end to compromise Don't we have a thread about compromise around here somewhere?

After talking about all the great pro military Dem's that lost their seats they have a little bit on the new members coming in who have served Adams, West, Cravaack, Kinzinger and Griffen - all Republicans. But wait, wait there is one prior service Democrat our old friend Blumenthal who has his VN service burned into his memory - oh, wait - Did I say VN service - I meant to say VN era service.

Page 14 short story says 18 veterans were elected on Nov 2 but does not list them. The Senate will have 26 veterans and the House will drop by 8 from 95. 14 incumbents lost on election day 13 D's / 1 R, 10 others retired, 2 lost their primary and 2 stepped down to run for other offices. We have 20 freshmen veterans - all Republicans. The story does not explain how they get from 18 at the start to 20 at the end.
