Military
Service
Since President
Bush took office, the political right has spent entirely too much time
portraying the
Democrats/Left/Liberals as being "un-American" and
"traitors." Now they've added "cut and run" to
their limited vocabulary. You and I know that there have been both
Democrats and Republicans who have served their country with
great honor.
But
there are men like
Representative Saxby Chambliss of Georgia who unjustly questioned
the patriotism of his political opponent, Max Cleland, who lost two
legs and an arm in Vietnam. If that was all Chambliss could offer
to demean his opponent, he had a pretty shabby chance of winning.
But win, he did. I think it would be a good idea to show the
military background of some of our office-holders in Washington. Here are a few
links to give you something to play with:

the right to fight... then want someone else to go
and do their
dirty work. |
