Do you think G W Bush would have been so eager to go to war if he had to send his children to the front lines?

Question

instead of other poor american children? or if he would have went to vietnam war and experience first had the dangers of war?

when i said poor i did not mean finacially ya dipshits i meant i felt sorry for them fighting a senseless war... and why do i have to support the war to support our troops? i support our troops but i think they are fighting a senseless war...and the point is bush is a coward when it comes to him being physically wonded or killed but he has all the nuts in the world when it comes to sacrificing people he doesnt know see or care about

Answer 1

Certainly a rhetorical question. I'm sure his kids will do for their country what he did for his. Can you say caste system?

Answer 2

there have been spies in Iraq, then UN became monitoring each and every thing besides. It did not make indifference the alternative to invade Iraq became made months after 9/11. the authentic reason of the conflict isn't terror or Saddam, that became only a facade. that's strategic administration of factors and to workout NSA position of delivery safe practices measures that went into bring about September 2002. with regard to controlling factors, fairly some Asian and ecu international places were given their oil from Iraq. Now that we administration it, they ought to get it from US oil organizations. similar sport as Iran contained in the 1950's and Kuwait in 1991. Invaded/rescued lower than "humanitarian" pretenses, yet in reality were the outcome of conserving company pastimes.

Answer 3

Not all military personnel are poor! i served 4 years in the Air Force and my family is middle class! I had a 4.0 GPA in high school and could of gone to any college i wanted on a soccer scholarship, but i chose to go in the service! I begged to go to Iraq and serve my country and help other defenseless people fight a dictator! My family understood my reasons for going and they understood that once i signed that dotted line I had a chance to go to war(signed up July of '01 before 9/11) and maybe even die....no one wants to die, but if me dying is going to save a lot more lives then i would do it in a heart beat! Its called honor! No parent wants to see their children die, but they also have to understand that if they are joining the military, that's a risk that they are accepting!!! Bush would of done what he has been doing...and if his children really wanted to be in the military, they wouldn't of let him stop them from going to Iraq.

Answer 4

two things...

1. POOR AMERICAN CHILDREN????? Most of the people in the US military are Middle class hard working Americans....and do not forget that service is not required it is all VOLUNTEER.....do you really think that they all join thinking they have no chance of going to war? Give them some credit....

2. I would not want a Pres. who would have to make that choice....a person in that position needs to be able to make those kind of decisions without have the extra burden of worrying about his own children....that is his job...to make the decisions none of us want to....There has to be a fine line that they need to have.....they have to be able to make those tuff choices without thinking about those individual people but at the same time have compassion for those people....could you do that...

My final thought.....Have you served? DO you think you could? Have you had any of your best friends go to war? Many of those so called "poor children" are very proud to do what they do....why do you people insist on disrespecting them.

Answer 5

Hmmm, Bush didn't look too eager to go to war, in fact after 9/11, he looked as shell shocked as we all did. So much for working on education and social security.

Now, as for the "poor" American "children", who the f*ck are you talking about? All my buddies serving are middle class, and over 18.. Somehow it's morons such as yourself who forget that they all signed up for an ALL VOLUNTEER MILITARY.

Answer 6

Yes, he went to war as president of the United States, not as a father, dont ask questions, just to get a negative answers, this question has been asked over and over.

Answer 7

can you liberals ever quit beating a dead horse,if you liberals hate our country so much,find your family jewels,and stand,or squat like a metro-sexual and say so,did liberals ask Theodor Roosevelt if his children were fighting germans,when germany never attacked the U.S. japan did,you liberals are the death of a lot of innocent people because of your sissy,lets sit and talk,you never get anything done talking,e.i.darfur,palistine,haiti,bosnia,somalia,all with innocent women,children are dying waiting all liberals,and there talking!

Answer 8

where have you been...the media and every other liberal has been asking this question since 2002...No I didn't answer your question because it's obviously a rhetorical question to make me "think" and I think that his children and others (cough cough)are too spoiled and chicken sh1t to enlist in the ALL VOLUNTEER military.....

Answer 9

So you are another one of those bigots who stereotypes people in the military?

Hint: contrary to what you and Kerry think - the lower classes are under-represented in the US military. We have an army composed of the middle class and lower-upper classes.

Answer 10

HELL NO The rich don,t go to war ,they just profit off them.
