Rep. Calls Solider "Two-Bit Security Guard"

Congressman Patrick McHenry (R-NC) called a U.S. soldier in Iraq a "two-bit security guard" because the soldier followed orders and prevented the Congressman from entering a gym without the proper credentials.

It's 5:00 in the morning. I haven't had sleep. I was not very happy with this two-bit security guard. So you know, I said, "I want to see your supervisor." Thirty minutes later, the supervisor wasn't happy with me, they escort me back to my room. It happens. I guess I didn’t need to work out anyway.

UPDATE: It seems the security guard was a contractor and not an actual soldier. I'm not sure that matters.
