One the most disturbing developments we at VoteVets.org have seen this week are media outlets reporting details regarding the deployment of Track Palin to Iraq, Governor Sarah Palin’s son. In a number of outlets, the details of when and where Track will be in Iraq have been reported. This isn’t just a violation of Operational Security (OPSEC), it puts the lives of every troop around him in danger.
It’s time for the Department of Defense to investigate who is leaking these details to the media. And, we need you to co-sign our letter to the Pentagon to get an investigation underway.
CO-SIGN OUR LETTER DEMANDING AN INVESTIGATION HERE
We’re all proud of every child of a politician who is serving in uniform – Democrat and Republican. And, their parents deserve to be proud. That’s not the point.
When someone chooses to bolster that story by leaking classified details to the media, it allows the enemy to gain valuable information that allows them to strike at a symbolic target of importance – and all the troops around that target. It’s dangerous, it’s illegal, and it needs to be investigated.
SIGN OUR LETTER HERE, TO STOP LEAKS OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION
Whoever is divulging this information to the media should be prosecuted and punished, if found guilty. Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, Independent, or of another party, we should all agree that we cannot accept anyone feeding classified details to the press. Join us in demanding the Pentagon investigate.
Sincerely,
Jon Soltz
Iraq War Veteran
Chairman, VoteVets.org

As a mere concerned citizen I do not know much about the dynamics of leaked deployments, but I do trust Sotlz's judgement. And he seems real pissed. Before this email even went out he included it as but one of the myriad of ways that the RNC and Republicans insulted our troops in a post at the Huffington Post.
So sign the petition, and sign up for email alerts from Vote Vets while you're at it too. If you need more convincing, watch the video below to learn more about Vote Vets' story:
