Cindy's comments about how Bush should make his daughters go, isn't even a rational statement. I can sum it up this way - I had a friend who used ROTC and the National Guard to pay his way through college. But, when it came time to serve and fulfill his obligation, he didn't want to. You don't go to automechanic school thinking that you'll never have to work on a car engine. You don't go to medical school and expect to never have to deal with sick people. You don't join the service and think that you might not be called to actually serve in combat. If you do, you just have yourself to blame.
