Clarified my thought process in an above post...

However, I want you to do some research and look up the following:

Democrat politicians with either military service or combat experience and then subtract the number of Democrat Chickenhawks from that number.

Then, look up the number of Republican politicians with either military service or combat experience and then subtract the number of Republican Chickenhawks from that number.

What I can guarantee is that the number for Democrat politicians will remain postive while the number for Republicans will go way into the negative.

Lastly, Pat, I suggest you go pick up copies of Stephen Ambrose's books on WWII and examine what area of society most of the soliders came from - it certainly wasn't the upper snooty echelons of Bushville.
