So RP didn't get like any questions the last 45 mins or so? Seems about par for the course.
Umm.. again.. anyone but RP will not beat Obama with all this war rhetoric. Some of these candidates are really insane I think. Someone should ask
Bachmann if she would send one of her 25 children over to Iran to fight the 'good fight'.
Michelle and Rick would gladly send your children. According to them we're already at war with Iran and have been for many many years. None of them
would allow their own children to fight in the war.
Gone are the days of Teddy Roosevelt; his son Teddy Jr led the Army landing at Normandy on D-Day.
"Ike" Eisenhower's son John was already in the Army before the 1952 election. In fact he served under his dad in WWII. His deployments were
restricted both times as the top brass did not want him falling into enemy hands since dad was General of the Army in WWII, and Commander In Chief
during the Korean. He had a short stint of combat in Korea just prior to his dad's election, reassigned to non-combat immediately after.
Biden's son was deployed to Iraq in 2009 for a 1-year tour with the National Guard JAG Corps (lawyer).
McCain came the closest, as 3 of his sons were/are in the military, one of them being a Marine infantryman who was deployed to Iraq just prior to the
election.
