Oh cut it out. From at least the middle of that war on, everyone did their best to avoid serving in that war.
It was clear we weren’t in it to win it.
What does Bolton say to the guy who went instead of him? Or maybe to the next of kin if he didn’t make out alive?
I don’t care that Cheney and Bolton did their best to avoid serving in a distant where we shouldn’t have been. It’s their efforts to send other people’s kids to new, needless, distant wars that steams me - and makes them hypocrites.
I don’t know about Boston’s family, but as far as I’ve seen, not even any of Cheney’s immediate family have volunteered to serve in uniform - but he remains an unerhawk always pushing for warlike policies that would put other people’s kids in harms way
I believed eve I have credibility to talk this way, because like Trump I opposed the Cheney-Bush invasion of Iraq from the beginning
The ChickenHawks are the ones who are so willing to send other folks kids to war, when they didn't go and their kids have no direct knowledge of military sacrifice. I support a strong military, but not a misused one.
Think back to when DC finally started listening to demands to end the war. It was when the Lottery System was made part of the draft, and their relatives and loved ones were going to have to do the fighting.
