Shouldnt Republicans lead by example? Why dont the congressmen and Bushs send their kids to fight?

Answer 1

Those guys are privileged, royal blooded Illuminati. They think they're better than us useless eaters.

Answer 2

Republicans and Democrats alike are full of themselves and set nothing but negative examples for everyone. Sending their kids to fight would be ridiculous. The military is currently voluntary. If they were to send their kids against their will, well, what kind of example would they be setting for the rest of America? There are some whack-jobs in the military that joined because they wanted to fight for the US, but I've only come across 10 that I know of. Everyone else joined because of job security, college, or job training. The military is a job; its just one that becomes a little risky when idiots are in charge, or when you are an American. You know, cause America can't seem to mind its own business and is continuing to pick fights and well, has been interfering where it doesn't belong since Vietnam.

Answer 3

1st of all we do not have a Draft, 2nd of all while it is known that none of the Younger Generation Bushs are in the Battlefield how would you know for sure how many members of Congress do or don't have Children in the Service?

The Military is Voluntary and everyone who joins knows they could be sent to War.

In my opinion if you don't wanna fight in a War then don't join the Service, only those willing to fight in War should join.

Answer 4

Believe it or not, the military doesn't really want the sons or daughters of senior government officials in combat. It is very difficult to keep their identity a secret. And, once the enemy learns of it, the units they serve in make inviting targets. This puts the other members of the unit at additonal risk.

Answer 5

They are leading by example the example the Libs set. Chelsea never served then again Neither did her father. So stop bitching about what Reps are doing and look in your own political parties closet sometime.

Answer 6

first off our military is a VOLUNTEER military, so no one is being FORCED to go fight, we sign up knowing the risks, for those who signed up for the college money, well they really don't need to go to college if they weren't smart enough to think about the possibilities. so why don't democrats actually try to LEAD instead of bitching? instead of always pointing out the problem offer a REAL solution. john kerry was asked for solutions and all he could do was shrug and point out the problems. he didn't know how to fix what was wrong but he knew what was wrong. well HECK joe blow can point out what was wrong, doesn't mean they would make for a good president. at least bush is DOING SOMETHING to find a solution instead of just sitting back and shrugging his shoulders saying I know what's wrong but no clue how to fix it, but i can tell you what's wrong.

Answer 7

Would you like to have your parents make the decision as to whether you go to war or not? It's still a volunteer army, last time I checked.

Answer 8

The same reason that the Democrats did not sent their kids to the Balkans and Somalia?

Answer 9

The privileged class never gets their hands dirty. That goes for democrats and republicans.

Answer 10

Why ,do you think we have a draft? We don't, not yet, but i bet the anti war people are going to cause a draft, because they keep trying to get people not to join.

Answer 11

Shouldn't Democrats live by thier example and drive hybrids and ride bycicles and not drive gas guzzlers?
