Son I've Been Advised By My Campaign Manager....

In the interest of being fair, something according to my kids I normally try to avoid, if my son joined the Marines and I had the clout to get him assigned to St. Tropez I probably would and probably so would about anyone else around here... except for McGentrix and Baldimo, who would push their boys into the line of fire and tell them not to be pussies

Except that the war planners in the administration have never been to war, and few politicians' children are going off to get shot at, good point.

Since I got dragged into this, I will support my son in whatever he chooses to do with his future. Politicians chose their own profession and it is not up to them to decide their childrens. One of the things that politicians do is decide to defend our nation and that means using the military. It has been that way and will continue to be that way. Whether their children join the military is entirely inconsequencial to that.

Deal with it.

way to take a joke bud.... what a guy

and shouldn't you more properly say that one of the things politicians do is send our children to fight wars (our children rarely meaning their own of course) to, if not defend our country, certainly use that as the reason?

If you want to make a joke, do so without my name.

I can think of no time in the history of the US where the government sent children to war. Instead, they have sent soldiers. Men and women who decided (with the exception of the various drafts of course. Wouldn't want to leave that out for those of you that always need to point out every single exceptions etc) that the military was for them.

It's a typical tactic to use words that draw sympathy to ones argument that make you feel bad. Like "children" for example. They aren't children fighting the wars now. They are men and women who chose to be in the military. In joining the military, they put themselves at the whim of the politicians, just as every other soldier is and will be.

Jesus could you be more humourless and touchy? Please try, I want to see how much more reactive you can get. I'm fascinated.

Yeah - But, you told it from a lefty point of view.

Hillary sends Chelsea to Afghanistan - Now, that's humor.
