Rep. Pallone on Rush Limbaugh's "Phony Soldiers" Comment

Rep. Frank Pallone responds to Rush Limbaugh's comment that those serving in the military who support redeployment from Iraq are "phony soldiers."

Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-PA), an Iraq war veteran, released a statement slamming Limbaugh too:

"Someone should tell chicken-hawk Rush Limbaugh that the only phonies are those who choose not to serve and then criticize those who do. I served proudly, so did two of my fellow paratroopers in the 82nd Airborne who spoke out and died just weeks ago. Generations of American veterans have worn the uniform with pride and we know it is no contradiction to serve your country and still disagree with the Bush-civilian leadership that mismanaged this war."
