To be clear....I am against a weakling Obamacakes sending our kids to die for oil.....THE ROOT CAUSE of ALL our Middle East adventures......including the 911 Blowback.
Now.....the Brits get this but there is a difference between our leaders and the Brits...BOTH
Crown Princes are on the battlefield in harms way......a British tradition. The kids of our leadership are no shows......the elite do not "walk the talk" with their blood.......
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The ugliest is that MAN who thinks nothing is worth fighting for and dying for and lets MORE BRAVER AND BETTER than himself protect him.
John Stewart Mills
Fred.....wrong....they can volunteer for battlefield assignments.......but we will NEVER see that.......Chelsea - slicks kid is also a no show.......Biden's kids did show......in the Senate (100 strong) how many kids are on the battlefield........few.

Great line from movie Patton........"when they ask you boys where you were during the war......you goanna tell them you were shoveling shit in Shreveport ? " These days most young men need to be issued a shovel at birth.....they can drag them into the bars and clean up the knee deep crap .....on the floors in LODO....
Funny... Did you whine about the Bush twins not joining the military? How about members of your own family? How many so you hold to your unrealistic standard?
