John, Thanks for that. I read a short excerpt from the battle of Hastings. We know our current leaders are cowards because of this: fordham.edu <King Harold himself, on foot, stood with his brothers near the standard in order that, so long as all shared equal danger, none could think of retreating.> <In the battle both leaders distinguished themselves by their bravery. Harold, not content with the functions of a general and with exhorting others, eagerly assumed himself the duties of a common soldier.> Yes the same as Bush and Cheney and others and their service to our country on the battle fronts. LOL. I will know we have a cause that I can support when the men and women that order the fighting send themselves and their children to fight. <GW Bush - decided that a six-year Nat'l Guard commitment really means four years. Still says that he's "been to war." Huh? VP Cheney - several deferments (1, 2), the last by marriage (in his own words, "had other priorities than military service") (1) Former Att'y Gen. John Ashcroft - did not serve (1, 2); received seven deferment to teach business ed at SW Missouri State Jeb Bush, Florida Governor - did not serve. (1) Karl Rove - avoided the draft, did not serve (1), too busy being a Republican. >>>>> <<Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert - avoided the draft, did not serve. Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey - avoided the draft, did not serve. Former House Majority Leader Tom Delay - avoided the draft, did not serve (1). "So many minority youths had volunteered ... that there was literally no room for patriotic folks like himself." House Majority Whip Roy Blunt - did not serve Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist - did not serve. (An impressive medical resume, but not such a friend to cats in Boston>>> awolbush.com
