Do Republicans have some Romantic notion about war because most
Advertisements [?]
have never served or if they did they were never in combat. I think a substantial number of Democrats have served in the military and in actual combat situations. I believe it is because of this service that Democrats are usually so opposed to launching a war. Especially any not done as a last resort. Republicans on the other hand seem to have some Reomantic idea about war as seen through the eyes of John Wayne. They want soo badly to be thought of as a hero but have never and will never do anything heroic. The only thing they really know about war is from watching John Wayne "kick some butt" as an American war Hero. Someone they can idolize. I think we need to bring up their lack of service as often as possible because it definitely reflects on their complete lack of respect for our service men and their deaths. How many funerals has Bush* or Cheney or Rumsfeld attended? Bush* would not even visit the returned flyers from the Chinese spy plane incident.
