[QUOTE="cjjtulsa, post: 1490800, member: 6146"] Understand your point, but as far as I'm concerned there's seldom a reason to send our kids into "godforsaken butt-end parts of the world" in the first place - whether sent there by a combat veteran, a lawyer, or a trash man. Too many kids died or were maimed in Iraq, sent there by a miltary veteran. There's one hell of a lot more involved in leading the country than deciding whether or not to send kids to butt-end parts of the world, I'm afraid. I'm a whole lot more concerned about our economic issues than starting another war-du-jour in some other middle-eastern dump. I'll take a saavy business man over a guy who did four years in the military - and that's not a dig towards vets. Since our nation is teetering on the brink of financial collapse, maybe a candidate should be able to prove that he's built a successful business from the ground up, and was able to grow it for at least a decade? Now a combat vet that's successfully run his own business for several years? I'd be real good with that. ****Edit - I forgot to mention that I do agree with you about Gingrich and others like him, though. If you're a dodger, you have no business sending others to fight.
