4. Better a military dove than a chicken hawk
It has overwhelmingly been those without military experience who have been the quickest to call for war, not merely in this administration, but in the past as well. Those with actual military experience understand the consequences of going to war far better than the likes of Bush and Cheney.

I disagree totally with the idea that only a general can beat Bush, but characterizing all military as warmongers is the kind of talk that makes it REALLY easy for the pundits to accuse Dems of not supporting our troops.
