Chris, your statement "It's sad how the most macho-mouthing people never spent time in a foxhole," is claiming facts not in evidence. That is pure conjecture on your part. Many who do support military action against Iraq and other regimes in action to deal with Islamofascist militant terrorist threats did serve in the military. I served in full time active duty in the military. I do not think that it is only those who did serve who know when it is time for war or peace. Many who demonize the US never spent time in a fox hole and there are also some who did serve in uniform. -- The Philadelphia Talk Radio Politics and Opinion Forum

In reply to: Chris Henry 's message, "For a further 10 points, which of the above actually served their country's armed forces in a war, as opposed to following the heroic career of journalism. It's sad how the most macho-mouthing people never spent time in a foxhole." on 00:31:53 03/10/03 Mon
