Suprised at you mt.

Is that a red herring?

I just pointed out that while you hold Cheney up as a non-serving politician, there are quite a few others. Darling Bill is one.

And I preempted the Bush didn't serve example by pointing out that he did indeed serve and flew an airplane not for the timid. Did quite well at that according to his OER's.

So before we all go discounting, deprecating and making fun of those that did not serve like Cheney and his fellow running dog capitalist Bill I-didn't-inhale-while-I-was-at-Cambridge-I-quit-ROTC-as-soon-as-I-drew-a-high-draft-number or pretending that the Guard is not real service, perhaps one should pause and reflect.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!
