Need some info...
Does anyone have a link to some stats on the OLDER (past 40) National Guardspeople serving in Iraq? My dad, a staunch Republican, told me that there weren't any older people fighting over there...I know this is not true, but I can't find any stats on it.

While I was yelling at the TV about Bush's lies last night, he said "You can't believe the media about this stuff".

I told him that I thought it was hillarious that he bought that load of crap from FOX news and Scaraborough. Think about it -- you have the MEDIA telling their viewers that this magical left-wing MEDIA tries to slant people against the war.

Faux news IS the media lol. It makes no sense.

6. Shit_they have grandfathers serving in Iraq____fathers and their
sons. They have 70 year old MD's serving in Iraq. Go to vets for peace, or iraq vets against the war sites. Put your Dad's misconceptions to rest once and for all. Tell him that employers don't have to save their jobs for them anymore either. The way bush treats our troops is utterly disgraceful
