Snow has it right---------tacky. Often times it is better to ignore than to stoop to the level of the questioner----i.e. in this case Boxer. From the article given-------the comment of One Vietnam War veteran by Thomas Bock sums up my feelings exactly. "— and recent American Legion national commander — who now has a son serving in Afghanistan said he was put off by Boxer's comments. Thomas Bock, 59, of Aurora, Colo., said he heard about the exchange on local radio and thought, "Wow! What a terrible thing to say, that only those people that have family members in the military have a price to pay. This is our freedom, this is our county. And the sooner that we stand up and stand for our country, the sooner we'll be able to bring our troops home." He said despite the fact that his son, helicopter pilot Army Capt. Adam Bock, is back in a combat zone, "I think she [Boxer] missed the whole point. ... You've got to focus on what the real issue is, and the real issue is the global war on terror, not a personal price or the personal sacrifice. This is a sacrifice for our country." mj
