I'd like to dedicate part of a song to able bodied "conservatives"
who are making the conscientious decision not to join the military and who are making the conscientious decision to display magnets and wave the flag and "support the troops and who make the conscientious decision to look at us with disdain and who make the conscientious decision to continue to back our involvement in Iraq.

A few lyrics from a song by Billy Ray Cyrus about a friend of his telling a story.

All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through for the red, white and blue
and some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
some gave all

1. Phil Ochs had the best one: " Draft Dodger Rag"
"So I wish you well, Sarge, give 'em Hell!
Kill me a thousand or so
And if you ever get a war without blood and gore
I'll be the first to go"

I've been known to start singing that one when some pinhead chickenhawk starts holding forth on how righteous Stupid's war is.
