Who supports the war? Not those who have fought them…
Is it any wonder the republicans are for this war? They have no idea what it is about. Here are the service records for prominent republicans:

I guess actually living up to your principles is for the little people.
On another note, how can there be young activist republicans? If they truly believe Bush is right and the war in Iraq is morally justified and necessary, why haven’t they enlisted? It’s easy to have “principles” when you only send other people to fight, and die, for them.
