I was going to point out that they already have sent their kids over there.
And then it hit me: a topic that hasn't been discussed is that a referendum of the president equates to a referendum on oneself at that point.
at the point one becomes emotionally and ideologically invested in the course of action, would we be surprised to find that such a person would be unwilling or unable to admit to oneself that the cause was not just, not a right course, not to be followed through? especially if one's progeny had been killed during that course of action?
hopefully roachboy will tune in to this and offer up an opinion.
