Why won't Republican leaders send their kids to Iraq?

masterjack_98

cowards and hypocrites!

Are you really that stupid? It's an all volunteer military. No one makes anyone sign up or your butt would be there now.

Joining the Armed Forces is a choice in this country. No one is sending their children to Iraq as far as I know. Some of us are seeing our loved ones go off to war by their own choice.
Anyone who didn't expect to fight for his/her country should not have joined the Armed Forces.

We have a volunteer force. The Republicans can't make their children do anything.

But, you do raise an interesting point. There is a great lack of representation of our social 'elite' in the armed forces. There are some great books that address this subject if you are interested.

you forgot that dems wanted this war even before Bush was pres, and when the KIDS are over 18 the parents can't SEND them anywhere, get a clue and put down the glue

Delray

Perhaps you forgot that the armed services are all volunteer--that there is no draft? The only people who get "sent" are those who volunteer by joining the military?

Because it's a volunteer military idiot.

Big Blue Fan!

When they have a draft every member of the executive branch and the both the House and Senate should get the first batch of numbers before they select anyone else. This will ensure that we never go to WAR unless absolutely no other alternative exists!

I guess its like the Civil War "A rich mans war, but a poor mans fight"

One thing I feel would help all concerned. Those who call for war should be the first on the front. It is all too easy to demand that our military put their lives on the line when we have no possibility of being shot and killed in action.

This should apply to every member of congress and presidential administration who makes the call to armed conflict.

almost all the soldiers are republicans.........by the way...why dont the muslims stand and fight....they always run away scared like little kids when the american army shows up to kill them......why dont the muslims show some backbone instead of always hiding behind little kids and old women

Like the old saying, If war was fought by those who called for war,there would be no war! Besides all their kids are in rehab !
