And their repercussions don't tap on the brakes when making the return trip, as the coffins starkly show. The message of the ad is simple and, in a democracy at war, legitimate: Let's get rid of the guys who signed off on this. (The fact that some of the guys who signed off were Democrats is an inconvenient subtlety the ad elides.) You can disagree with its argument, but to have that argument in an election...
