Contrary to the tripe you hear from the Republicans, many of those on the left have in fact served in the military. Some have even seen combat.
Well it is often said on the left to the right, "If you are so supportive of the war, you should enlists, I hear they are looking for a few good men", and yet, they are still in a shortage.
So lets here it from a horses mouth… (from The Nation)
Technorati Tags: Failed Presidency, Military, republicans, Right Wing HypocrisyBy the time I encountered Cory Bray, a towering senior from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, the beer was flowing freely. “The people opposed to the war aren’t putting their asses on the line,” Bray boomed from beside the bar. Then why isn’t he putting his ass on the line? “I’m not putting my ass on the line because I had the opportunity to go to the number-one business school in the country,” he declared, his voice rising in defensive anger, “and I wasn’t going to pass that up.”
And besides, being a College Republican is so much more fun than counterinsurgency warfare. Bray recounted the pride he and his buddies had felt walking through the center of campus last fall waving a giant American flag, wearing cowboy boots and hats with the letters B-U-S-H painted on their bare chests. “We’re the big guys,” he said. “We’re the ones who stand up for what we believe in. The College Democrats just sit around talking about how much they hate Bush. We actually do shit.”
