Over history Liberal Americans have volunteered to be a part of a number of causes. In WWI they drove ambulances and flew airplanes. During the Spanish Civil war they joined the Abraham Lincoln Brigade to fight faschism. Why don't Republicans that believe in Iraq do the same?

You miss the point.. These are causes that liberals believed in. I am not talking about service men. I am talking about citizens going on their own. In the Bosnian war Bosnian Americans went on their own and fought. And try to not use an insult it really makes you look foolish.

Additionally those polls that are sited are amazingly innacurate. Soldiers do their job. They go where they are sent. They also don't express their opinions until they leave. That said I wonder why out of some 60 Iraq war vets that ran for congress only two or three were Republicans.

REMEMBER I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT SOLDIERS. I AM TALKING ABOUT CITIZENS.

To my knowledge there is no army fighting in Iraq made of citizen Americans that believe in the cause. Read up on the Spanish Civil War and then answer the question.

They think cheerleaders are players.

The number of your little ambulance drivers is overshadowed by the vast number of republicans that volunteered to join the military (virtually all republicans).
So your question is a bit hypocritical, especially if you say, "not counting the volunteers actually fighting there"

There are many Republicans that have joined the military. I for one, am a conservative. I was in the Army at Ft. Knox 7 days after graduation from high school!

Most military personnel vote Republican. Try using fact. Facts are our friends.

I'm sure Conservative Republicans have volunteered as well. That's a pretty asinine statement to make. You have embarassed the rest of us Liberals with your ignorance.

MOST FOLKS IN THE SERVICE HAVE A NOTABLE CONSERVATIVE BENT OR THEY WOULDNT BE THERE. THANK THE LEFT FOR MAKING THAT COME TRUE WITH ALL THE SILLY ANTICS THEY FOIST ON US I.E. CINDY SHEEHAN. MOST REPUBLICANS GOT TURNED OFF WHEN A BUNCH OF LIBS WENT TO IRAQ TO SERVE AS HUMAN SHIELDS FOR SADDAM. NUF SAID.

I'm a republican and I'm a Marine, I could go on to say how big of an asshat you are, but I could also sit here knowing i'm doing my part and not shouting out to the world that I'm a republican and helping in Iraq...I have found that the democrats (not all) want to get as much attetition for whatever they do...blah

You must be a high-school student, right?
87% of the military votes Republican (read: they ARE Republicans) so they've ALREADY volunteered.
Geez, the quality of these "questions" is reaching all-time lows and that's REALLY saying something!!!

Sorry but most of our military comes from Republican families.

Duh.....fool, last poll showed over 80% of serving military was republican oriented/approving. And if my hip wasn't all messed up, I'd have stayed in for a career.
Do research before posting.
