Thank you for that little clarification of who has physical and maybe even a bit of moral courage, and who are simply loudmouthed cowards.

...it makes it more clear why they can head for the bunkers and say, "I can live with terrorism for the rest of your life! No problem!"

Tom Delay's the worst, but probably typical, if you researched excuses of cowardly hawks.

TexasDude your biased presentation lacks balance.

In the House, 77 Republicans and 51 Democrats are veterans.
In the Senate, 22 Republicans and 16 Democrats are veterans.

The only veteran women is Rep. Heather Wilson, Republican from N.M.

Do you believe Bush or any of the others you mention have some character flaw because they "did not serve"?

Dude, ...where's Clinton?

If you want to honor Congress Critters that served you could have easily served up this list. Instead you are a divider and dissembler. Exactly what about being a Texan gives YOU pride?

George Bush Sr.

Mr. Bush graduated from Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts on his 18th birthday, June 12, 1942. That same day, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy as a Seaman 2nd Class. Receiving his wings and commission in June 1943 while still 18 years old, he was the youngest pilot in the Navy at that time.

On active duty from August 1942 to September 1945 during World War II, Mr. Bush flew torpedo bombers off the USS San Jacinto. On September 2, 1944, Mr. Bush's plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire while making a bombing run over the Bonin Island of Chichi Jima, 600 miles south of Japan. Although the plane was afire and severely damaged, he completed his strafing run on the targeted Japanese installation before flying towards sea to bail out.
