Yup. There's nothing in that speech that's really going to help anyone here answer hostile questions like the one he was asked, stuff along the lines of "When I watch the news from Iraq, where are the children of people like Hillary Clinton and George Bush?" - talk about a "volunteer army" just dodges the question, I expect an Arny recruiter would be delighted if Chelsea or Jenna walked through the door.
If they walked through the door, with them would be Secret Service agents along to protect them from being kidnapped and held hostage, being taken and tortured(including raped) on video, ditto having their heads chopped off, or being assassinated on the spot, because of who their parents are and what they mean to America. Wake up. So they could just join the military and bop over to serve in Iraq??? I don't think so. In fact, I KNOW not so.
Maybe Jenna, but not pigface.....wait a minute, that would scare the $hit out of the enemy.
I'm not trying to be rude, but are you dense?
What part of volunteer do you not understand?
It EXACTLY answers the question.
Additionally, the question he was asked wasn't "hostile", it was inane.
And, in the military you are a soldier, celebrity doesn't count. It's irrelevant whose son or daughter someone is. Other posters are right, a known "VIP" or celebrity would just increase risk. I don't want someone in the military because someone thinks it would 'look good', I want someone there because that's where they want to be.
