40. If he's all happy about the "strategic value" of all this, does the
righteousness of this war reach the level where he would encourage his own son to enlist and fight and die in it? Would he do so himself?

If not, why is it OK for people to be "stop-lossed" (INVOLUNTARILY held in the service past their obligation) or "called up again" (inactive ready reserve), again INVOLUNTARILY, to feed this war machine just because they made the mistake of enlisting/comissioning in the first place, while guys like this, and all the Repub war cheerleaders, sit on the sideline? Is this fair?
