...that may be debatable, but he's clearly a savvy entrepreneur.

Debate away then. Why would you say that he is not a patriot? On the
contrary:

Jimmy is a stalwart defender of the United States as defined by its
Constitution. The people of the United States have a right to
responsible government by elected officials who conduct the business of
the nation out in the open and not in closed hearings and back rooms.
He believes the people of the United States have a right to know what
is going on in Iraq and the price soldiers are paying to fight this
war.

Why would you say he is not pro soldier? On the contrary:

He believes soldiers have a right to serve in a military where the
Geneva Convention and Rules of Engagement are strictly interpreted and
enforced. He believes soldiers should be free from repeated "stop loss"
deployments to war zones. He supports the rights of vets to prompt,
state-of-the-art healthcare for injuries received during their time in
service. He believes, strongly, that current administration policy
regarding human rights abuse and torture, is putting soldiers and
American's abroad at greater risk.

Why would you say he is not pro army? On the contrary:

Jimmy Massey served in the US Marines for twelve years. Trained as
infantry, he was stationed in Parris Island as an infantry instructor
for three years, then moved on to recruiting duty, then was deployed to
serve as Staff Sergeant in Iraq in command of more than 35 men.
During his tour of duty in Iraq he and his troop killed approximately
30 unarmed civilians, including children.

Staff Sergeant Massey was unable to reconcile his training, US rhetoric
regarding the "liberation of Iraq", and traditional American values
with the orders he was given in Iraq. He refused to continue killing
and asked to be seen by a psychologist who sent him back stateside
immediately for treatment. Jimmy was ultimately granted an honorable
discharge and a diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
