The antiwar group VoteVets.org has become the first group to come out and condemn GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell over our report that he belittled the deaths of professional soldiers in a meeting with constituents this week.

"I would say that Mitch McConnell owes every member of our service and the families of the fallen an apology, but no apology from him can take back the venom he has spewed at our troops," a VoteVets.org senior advisor, Retired Lt. Col. Andrew Horne, said in a statement.

"For anyone to believe that casualties of war are somehow more acceptable because they were not draftees is disgusting," continued Horne, who served in Iraq with the Marines and lives in McConnell's home state of Kentucky. "For the Republican leader in the United States Senate to say that is beyond repugnant."

If Harry Reid said something like this it would be news for days and days. So it'll be interesting to see if this goes anywhere.
