A military guy e-mails a weekend website blooper:
Thought you might be interested in posting this. The DNC website has a page called Veterans and Military Families where they purpo[r]t to care about the welfare of US troops. Unfortunately they couldn't even find a picture of a US soldier to post on the page. The picture in the Get Involved frame is not a US Army uniform. The soldiers in the background are not in a US uniform either.
My military correspondent says the uniform in the DNC photo...
...is Canadian. Is he right?

Heres our Canadian soldier in a better mood, no longer fretting about the ill treatment hes received from the Republicans. (Hat tip: Catttt.)
There is also a version of this photo posted at iStockPhoto that has been photoshopped to remove the badge, so its possible that the DNC didnt do the alteration themselves, but went searching for a photo of a soldier looking grim and seized on this one without noticing (or apparently, caring) that it wasnt a US soldier.
