And of those who do, how many of them are serving in Iraq? Of those serving in Iraq, should there be any, how many are serving in the Green Zone? Finally, of those serving in Iraq, how many are serving in combat outside the Green Zone?

Seriously. Anyone? I really want to know. I somehow can't help but feel that if more of these government officials had children who had been drafted to serve and fight in this conflict, things would have gone a bit differently.

I see an undermanned military being led by those that have never served. Or, if they did, it was from the confines of a plush clear zone. Not only that...but I see these same "Chicken Hawks" castigating decorated combat veterans over their lack of "patriotism" for daring to speak up in criticism of the war. Excuse me? Is this a bad Twilight Zone episode?
