Quite a lot of people who agree with Bush, and who have "not stood up to him" (to the extent I can figure out what you mean by that), have combat experience. "Part of his rightwing team" could mean anything from him and his closest advisors (or at least the more conservative of them) to anyone who is conservative and supports Bush. Its to vague to be meaningful. Have you had combat experience? Normally I would never ask such a question, because I think it is almost entirely irrelevant, but you seem to put so much stock in it, almost as if people who have no combat experience aren't qualified to have an opinion on issues of war and security. Also you call people cowards with no other argument other than that they have not served in combat. You generally toss slurs around with abandon. Whether or not you have served in combat would you condemn and attack liberal Democrats who have never served in combat? With the amount of stress you put on combat experience in leaders it seems you would prefer to live in a world like the one in Starship Troopers.
