"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." - Hermann Göring

4. ....John McCain the only memorable repub that served.....

5. President Ford served in WWII.

Hagel and Ridge served in Vietnam.

6. One would think....

that some industrious reporter would write a story about this odd little fact of military service. I find it so odd that those who are most rabidly right wing are usually without service.

7. wouldn't it be easier to list those who aren't

Its a lot shorter list.
