I have a real problem with someone who strongly backs a war, which Cheney did, but feels that other people should fight it. I don't. And I don't plan to drop everything to sign up for the army. If I can lose some weight they would probably take me, I'm near but not over the age cut off, assuming they haven't changed it, and I have some prior service even if it was in a non-combat related function in the National Guard). However in Cheney's case I can see someone having a little more of a problem than I would have in the current situation. We had a lot more soldiers in Vietnam and more importantly we had a draft. The soldier in Iraq now are volunteers. Tim
