I think the intent of my post is pretty obvious. Doesn't really require much interpretation. So I guess "humor" is the right word. Although I don't find this to be a very humorous subject.

The "it" you refer to includes a number of human attributes, sorely lacking in our society these days. "It" includes having a sense of personal responsibility. Having the courage of your convictions, and acting upon them. It means risking everything and possibly sacrificing for what you believe. It means having some real life experiance to be able to put all these qualities into context. Qualities that apparently elude so many neo-con rhetorical warriors. You know. Like the one's posting here.

I wonder how some one like that can honestly question the motives of people who actually serve our country? While having no shame about not serving. It's the kind of glib cynicism that seems to be the standard for morality now. As exampled by our current leaders.

It's almost too funny to watch these guys wriggle and squirm to avoid dealing with the fundemental issue. Which itself is indicitive of neo-con rationale.

If you support the war in Iraq, and are capable of fighting, but won't volunteer to serve; that can only be defined as hypocritical and cowardly. How is that a morally sustainable position? It's not.

People like this just talk about supporting the troops. But they don't really support anything or anyone. They mock the troops. They dishonor the troops. It's the sort of mentality that dishonors all Americans. They are the sort of people not worthy of good people's sacrifice.
