So......you're advocating that they, as members of congress, FORCE their adult children to enter the military?? With all due respect, this is an arguement that kinda goes along the lines that unless you have some intimate grasp and connection with the service, you should not be allowed to make any conclusions, assessments, or decisions for anyone else, regarding the service. Is that about right? So, that begs the requirement of course that we can have no President unless they themselves have served or at minimum have made their children serve.
Obviously members of Congress should not force their adult children to serve. And that's not what I advocate, unless you mean by a non-deferral draft, which I do support. Nor is military service necessary for an executive or representative. I've never made that claim.
This was an example to rebut Rich's implication that people who don't want to serve in the military, and don't want to fight in a war, are selfish and/or cowardly. He made this implication with the comment:
Yeah, let some other fool die for his country.
If people who won't serve or won't fight are selfish and/or cowardly, what does that say about the children of the government representatives, Justices, and executives? If Rich is going to fling his monkey shit around, I'm going to fling it right back.
