4. I Recall Seeing That There Was 1

It may have been mentioned in Fahrenheit 911, or somewhere else, but I recall seeing that there was only one member of Congress that had a child in the active military. Don't know about the Reserves or National Guard though.

"There is no predicting whether Biden himself would be sent to a war zone. It could happen but probably will not. "The odds are much better now than it used to be. I'm not saying it's real likely," Gebelein said.

The truth of the matter is, as Dallas Winslow put it, there is not much use for a lawyer where the shots are being fired. "There's no great demand for attorneys. They'd rather not take the attorneys with them," he quipped".

Ha Ha....pretty funny, isn't it? Plenty of calls for those poor burger flippers and mid level managers and other non-connected types though, eh? No need for 1st Lieutenants in Iraq? He never got any firearms training? Just a Social Club kind of Commission, eh?
