And some people were surprised that I got angry with him.

For years, I have been criticized for supporting the military because I have no military experience. It's one of the craziest complaints I've ever experienced in over 30 years as a radio talk show host.

Let me get this straight: I can't defend the military because I didn't serve. So does that mean I can't support police officers or firefighters because I've never been one? How about teachers? Can I support them since I've never taught a class before?

No, I never experienced the honor or privilege of serving my country in the Armed Forces. I'm not brave. Far from it. As a guy who has worked in the broadcasting industry since he was 17 years old, maybe I just figure I can serve my country safely from behind a microphone.

And more importantly, perhaps it's because I haven't served that I constantly give my country and the U.S. military the benefit of the doubt.

My admiration for the military runs deep; my pride in knowing that we American citizens are safer because of the actions of those who do choose to enlist is immense.

And I am not about to blame the Army for the actions of a rogue killer who viciously turned on his fellow soldiers.

Being a part of our all-volunteer military is anything but easy. But it's a decision that has been made by thousands and thousands of people, folks like my Dad who served proudly in the U.S. Navy during WWII, often spending years away from their loved ones to fight for the country they love.

To complain about multiple tours of duty as an excuse for an act of sheer evil is wrong. There's nothing rational about evil.

And there is certainly nothing rational about blaming commanders or the military or the government or the country for what one lone gunman did to those five innocent victims in Baghdad.
