Perhaps they feel the same way as Dick Cheney about service. I've got better things to do. But these Chicken hawks are also back stabbers. Who do you think was Cheney's lil helper when he was the Secretary of Defense? Did you say Murtha? You'd be right! When Dick Cheney, a Wyoming congressman who had never served in the military and who had failed during his political career to gain much respect from those who wore the uniform he had worked so hard to avoid putting on during the Vietnam War, was selected in 1989 by former President George Herbert Walker Bush to serve as Secretary of Defense, he had a credibility problem. Lacking in the experience and the connections required to effectively take charge of the Pentagon in turbulent times, he turned to a House colleague, Pennsylvania Democrat John Murtha, a decorated combat veteran whose hawkish stances on military matters had made him a favorite of the armed services. "I'm going to need a lot of help," Cheney told Murtha. "I don't know a blankety-blank thing about defense." news.yahoo.com Orca

Parents do not send adult children to enlist. It is a personal decision of each person. Chinu, your stupid attempt to sway people failed... Wonder why Bush does not send his daughters to enlist.
