Glenn and Gary have provided a few. there are many more. I only spend a limited amount of time on the internet. I do not have the time to camp in front of the computer all day. You should be honest and admit that both sides use military language for political purposes. You continue to highlight only the comments by conservative. To be fair you have said that both side should tone it down, but you only provide comments by the right. If you want to blame something why not look at music, video games and movies.
