Cool to see Phil, who claims to be a lifelong democrat, chime in. His show is sometimes hilarious as well.

If you can't stand behind our troops, STAND IN FRONT OF THEM! Maybe that's where Moore and his ilk should be standing......in front of "the kids".

Dems can't understand maturity beyond dressing up. If they wear nice clothes, then they feel soooo grown-up...

Oh, and drink wine, not beer. That'll help.

Yeah, "kids, or boys & girls." This terminology irks me to no end. I have heard this bs, from left and right media, for the last 40 yrs. Although, President Ronald Reagan, never used those denigrating terms, not once.

I remember seeing that program with BOR and Michael Moore.
The guys was a frigging slob. The kind you would like to walk up to when he is talking his garbage and punch in the throat.

Like I always say about sending "children" to war:

If they cannot be trusted to make mature decisions on the battlefield or with their lives, why are we letting them cast ballots?

This is followed by...

By law, someone 18 or older is not a "child". If you disagree with the legal limit, petition your legislator to get it changed.

I don't know about Iraq but I was 19 yrs old when I went to Viet Nam. Had I not extended my tour 3 months I wouldn't have been of legal age to go to a bar when I got home FROM A WAR....

Did I think I was a child then?...No.
Do I now think a 19 or 20 yr old is an adult?...No.

No, I would never send my child to go fight in any war, but if he or she should join one of our armed forces of his or her own volition, then I would be one very proud parent.

I've been thinking about this a lot recently because there's a radio talk show host in Boston (Jay Severin - a libertarian) and he's always saying things such as "How do you tell Mrs. Sullivan that we want you to give her son's life to fight Al Queda?"

And as a father of a 19 year old son, I've thought about this, too. I'm not at all against the actions we're taking in Iraq & Afghanistan but I can see what he means (when I incorporate his anit-Bush, reverse logic). The problem with his logic is that no one's asking Mrs. Sullivan to give her son, the USA is asking Mr. Sullivan (Mrs. Sullivan's son) to join the fight.

My son considered joining the Marines and I suggested the Air Force or the Navy in an attempt to keep him away from the flying bullets (no offense intended toward those Airmen & Sailors entrenched in the fighting). As a parent, that's what we do - protect the kids, but as a 19 year old kid you just want to go over there and kick ass.

To be honest though, I was really offended last year (during the Olympics, I think) when our guys were getting blown to bits while able-bodied Iraqis were playing soccer in an attempt to earn a gold, silver, or bronze medal. All the while, our guys were earing Purple Hearts.

To call the great professional men and women who serve in our armed forces "kids" is a common semantical tactic employed by my Poseur Leftist friends.

Liberals have said the same thing to me. I've always squirmed, but never put my finger on what was bothering me. Great post - these men and women aren't 12 year olds...

WE DON'T SEND KIDS TO FIGHT. WE SEND MEN AND WOMEN.


Right, except many of these men and women aren't old enough to drink.........

My son-in-law, who's in his thirties, left for basic training this week.
