what are you trying to say? you have to have a son or daughter in iraq to make an accurate assessment? that the military doesn't have an intelligence arm? that those who work for the cia have never died in combat? What??

I dont' get it. Nor was I trying to debunk anything.

But I will debunk one thing. Your lie about only 1 member of Congress having a son or daughter in Iraq. I don't know at this exact moment who is there, but i know who HAS served there.

Todd Akin's son.
Jim Webb
Joe Biden
Max Baucus
Joe Wilson
John Mccain (maybe?)

The US Senate library reports that 10 sons and daughters of Congressmen and women have fought in Iraq. Which is one in every 53 families, which I guess is about average with the nation as well.

I'm guessing that 50-100 are in the military. So please, don't belittle their service.

Those in the shadow, are you and i, my friend. Not those who serve our nation and try to defend it.
