An interesting note on that:
Of all of the folks that served in Congress, according to a source I heard today, NONE of their children ever served in any form of combat in Viet Nam.
NOW...of all of those in Congress, only ONE soldier serving is the child of a person in Congress.
Nice to see how much ALL of them believe in the value of their wars.
Let's send YOUR child but not mine seems to be the approach.
That's EXACTLY what I mean when I say "chickenhawks."
A certain man returned from Vietnam and burned his medals at an anti-war protest. When he later ran for Congress and he couldn't get votes because of that incident, he claimed that they were someone else's medals, and he wouldn't dream of diminishing the honor of serving his country.
I don't worry about disagreeing with two-faced people like that... I figure, eventually they'll turn coat and agree with me (at least for a while)!
