Soldiers and Flight 93 in Kerry's speech.
Fighting for america.... not just the volunteer soldiers, but *every single one* of us.

Okay, this may be a blatant stunt, but one with meaning:

I propose that all the surviving families of flight 93 (the one that cratered) get the same survivor's benefits that widows and orphans of Iraq and Afghanistan soldiers get.

3. That's partially the point.
The other point is that all americans are soldiers, accidental or trained.
