Republican Congressman Patrick McHenry mocked soldier serving the Green Zone as "two-bit security guard"

It's phenomenal the disdain that Republicans actually have for the men and women who serve in the Armed Services. But to openly mock soldiers serving in the Green Zone in Iraq would seem beyond the pale.

Not for Republican Congressman Patrick McHenry (NC). He dismissed a soldier as a "two-bit security guard" because the soldier wanted the proper credentials before letting McHenry in the building with the gym. Then, the idiot Congressman from North Carolina went on to explain that while he was in the Green Zone, it was under a rocket attack -- and the gym was hit. Major hat tip to Think Progress:

"Two-bit security guard" just sums up the contempt McHenry and his colleagues have for U.S. soldiers.
