So George, in that other war, why didn't you go and honor
those who had died fighting. You opted to do periodic weekend duty (when you bothered to show up) - that wasn't honoring those who had already died in Vietnam by going and continue the fighting "in their honor." Why do you insist on asking others to do, what you yourself would not do?

Heck you could have helped Nixon, you being a pilot and all, you could have helped honor by participating in the "Secret War" (bombing of Cambodia, while we the public were being told that troop numbers were being decreased/drawn down).

Perhaps this is why, especially after uttering that sentiment, that you can not go and look into Ms. Sheehan's eyes. Knowing that she does not buy your line and is not a pre-screened supporter, but a mother questioning why her son should pay a price, why you should be asking other mothers to send their sons and daughters to "honor" those, like her son, who have died - when you yourself, when "given the chance" would NOT do the same, and today do not ask the same of your own children, or the children of your brothers/sister, or the children of your advisors, etc.

3. I gagged yesterday, while listening to a clip
of his "honor" line. Simply gagged that noone was asking why per his own behavior in his youth.

4. Because the chicken hawk, chicken shit
coward, phony, AWOL, deserting, lying, draft dodging, privileged,
disingenuous piece of murdering for profit shit didn't have the balls to do what he now is asking American men and women to do. The bastard knows Cindy knows his past record. How could he look her in the eyes.
