Gray Davis -- US Army
Wesley Clark
Max Clelland --  left two legs and an arm in Vietnam

Holden is correct, as now presently constituted the Dems and Repubs are tied 0 to 0.


When were Gray Davis and Wesley Clark in congress?

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

In the deleted thread, it was stated that the Democrats were the anti-war party. I thought it was curious that the leadership of the anti-war party had a more extensive military record than the supposed party of patriotism.

In the last congress, which was the one that debated this war, the Democratic leadership had more veterans than the Republican leadership. True or false?

That was answered earlier, Red Top. Please try to keep up. :-)

The "who served" was related to a post in the deleted thread. I wish I could quote it for you, but I can't. It was deleted!

Poor title for the thread. it wasn't meant to be a poll.

If this was your point why didn't you empatically and implicitely state that in your original post?

It appears that you simply want to stir up  meatball  and between you, zulu, rpm, and martlet you have muddied the water quite a bit while never really addressing your point.

So what's your point? The President is also in charge of federal prisons, too- does that mean he isn't qualified as a leader because he was never a prisoner?

Being a Vet doesn't give one some sort of "special insight" into leadership anyway- hell, I'm a Vet, and I drink too much, I fart in public, I never tip, I beat my dog, and I cheat on my taxes....And I'd do the same thing if I hadn't been a Vet.

If you're implying that Vets have more of an aversion to war than non-vets then I suggest you rent Rambo from NetFlix and watch it over and over again...after about the fiftieth viewing you'll be able to cry right along with Sylvester Stallone when he has his final emotional breakdown at the end of the movie, and you may finally- understand- our-pain.

Do you know how many Viet Vets it takes to change a lightbulb?

Of COURSE you don't, dude, because YOU WEREN'T THERE!!! :mad:


LOL Too funny...

True, this spiraled out of control quite awhile ago, didn't it? My fault that.

It is just that the idea of so many gung-ho military supporters bad mouthing veterans and cheering on draft dodgers tickles my funny bone.

It's a strange world.

You'll never catch me cheering on a draft dodger.  I hated Clinton.

greentail , 2 points

bush got a honorable discharge.

kerry did not serve two tours, he was on a offshore ship and transfered to swift boats, that sent him back to the states for training, he then went back to nam.

kerry joined the navy because it was better than getting drafted into the army and fighting in rice paddys, when he asked for transfer to swift boats they were only opperating on the coast and he wanted to be like his hero JFK, when he got back to nam he found out the swift boats were going up river and he found a quick way back to the states, two band-aids and a gause dressing.   "war hero"

Pretty sure Arthur Ashe used to serve pretty well.. the Williams sisters are serving pretty well.

Guess lots of folks serve. More than you think.
