VoteVets want censure of "Young Chickenhawk" Congressman Patrick McHenry for endangering the lives of U.S. soldiers in Iraq

Last week, I wrote a post about Rep. Patrick McHenry's shocking disdain for U.S. troops serving in Iraq.

It gets worse. Read Brandon Friedman's post at DailyKos. Brandon served in Afghanistan and Iraq and is now the Vice Chair of VoteVets.

McHenry literally endangered the lives of soldiers serving in Iraq by airing video of the Green Zone. VoteVets first called McHenry out on this. The Pentagon had to get involved. It's astonishing what these Republicans will do. McHenry must be held accountable for the breach of security:

If Patrick McHenry wants to tell war stories so badly, he should resign his Congressional seat and go enlist. He's only 32. That way, he could get some training--so that next time he's in a combat zone trying to be a tough guy, he won't be such a bumbling, self-promotional fool about it.

At this point, Patrick McHenry should be censured by his peers in Congress and he should apologize to the troops and their families.
We're waiting.
