SHOULD THOSE WHO LAUNCH A WAR FIGHT IN IT?


[+] ballot by AMSearch
created Tue Jan 04, 05

How about this idea: What if every member of Congress (and the President) who voted to authorize a military action had to either fight in it themselves, or designate one member of their family to fight in it. And they can't get a cushy desk job in the military, they have to go into combat. Good idea?

yes, they would have to really believe in an action before putting lives on the line
no, they are all too cowardly and would not act when it was necessary
Send Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and the Bush twins
Send John Howard in with George Bush

No. That's an easy (and somewhat trite) way to condemn war, but it's just not logically sound.

Yes they should be like Nepolian or Ceasar who actually leads his troops into battle.

Be a nice thought...

Who'd be able to make them. Nobody even care s that Bush has now stolen two elections and the so-called opposition comes from the same sexually perverted secret society.

Power flows from the elite that own everything rather than the people. Democracy is a fantasy that the deluded indulge in when they cast their inconsequential vote.

It's unrealistic to think that the politicians themselves would fight. Most are old men after all. But it would be nice if those who are quick to take us to war had themselves actually served (preferably in combat) in some capacity in the past.

John McCain (f-in hero!), Al Gore, John Kerry (don't give me a bunch of s--t about what he did after the war, cause he WENT to Vietnam; unless you did so as well, I don't give a s--t about your opinion on his post-service war-protesting), George Bush Senior, Jimmy Carter (did you know that, other than Eisenhower, no President of the 20th century spent more time in uniform than Carter did?), Bob Dole, etc...
