Who decides for me what balance is? That's my choice, right? It is not up to a person or committee in a position of leadership to formulate for me what balance is. I will always make that choice for myself - and I certain the soldiers in harms way will do the same.

As for Rush - he is greatly loved and respected by a the military, on the whole. Of course they should have the choice of listening to him, if they wish - even if you and I might not choose to. Likewise with Al Franken - or any other popular radio show host; if enough servicemen want it, they have it - and I'd be happy to pay for it out my taxes.
