Default Re: Bush asks for sacrifice he doesn\'t ask of himself

[ QUOTE ]
Fine, then step down from the letter for a second, and please address this point:

Fact: There are plenty of 18-25 year olds in college who support the war(think College Republicans) who could go, but aren't.

How are these kids not hypocrites?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because you're taking the fallacy that support for the war = an obligation to go fight. If all things were that way, things would be a mess. We have a volunteer army, one's ideological and political beliefs do not necessarily lead to the greatest possible action. I wish people like you would understand that you're not making anybody ashamed of themselves. College is a life choice, as is military service. Just because I believe that what someone is doing is right doesn't mean I need to change my entire life.

There are plenty of people who dislike how Bush is running the country, but refuse to take political actions such as running for office. How are these people not hypocrites? See the problems in your attempt at logic?

Go ahead and misquote me again though, since that was what you've already done twice in this damn thread.
