“This is just one more politician who is willing to risk the lives of our loved ones and celebrate sending them off into a war that we never should have in…”
So says Nancy Lessin, a spokeswoman for Military Families Speak Out, on the day that Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney was honored by the National Guard for extending pay for state workers on active duty. According to this article in the Boston Herald, Romney has been a big supporter of the war in Iraq, but apparently hasn’t thought to ask his own five sons — ages 24 to 35 — to sign up for National Guard duty. Speaking of which, I wonder where the Bush girls are partying today? My guess is that it’s not in Baghdad.

I think that it was inapporiate to involve a politican’s children in the discussion of war. In case you haven’t heard, it’s a voluntary military.
Why are liberals are so insisted that politicans’ children MUST serve in the military if their parents support the war?
