OIF vet answers Carl Levin's absurd, and frankly insulting, invocation of Lincoln in the WaPo the other day.

In his op-ed, Sen. Levin invoked the example of Abraham Lincoln, who endured years of challenges before finding the right generals and strategy to win the Civil War.

President Lincoln chose to fight a bloody and unpopular war because he believed the enemy had to be defeated. He was right. And to me, that sounds more than a bit like the situation our country faces today. What path will we choose?

Which path indeed. Read the whole thing and go to the Vets for Freedom site
