In reply to the discussion: ABC News Guest Tells Bill Kristol To 'Enlist In The Iraqi Army' [View all]90-percent

Billy's son is pretty honorable if he volunteered to serve. Daddy put his boys life and well being where his mouth is. What a rare outburst of integrity for this First Class Chickenhawk.
I always thought it was so charming to see all of Mitt's non-serving male offspring. But, if you're the entitled offspring of a .001% elite like Mitt, it's easy to come up with "other priorities." At least Mitt protested to reinstate the draft he managed to dodge in his time. And he put his life on the line making France safe for Mormons. Vietnam in 1968? Paris in 1968? Pretty much the same type of duty, don't you think?

The nation may have been agrieved, but Kristol and the War Hawks walked away very wealthy.
