We Send Men and Women to Fight, Not "Kids" You Idiot

Perhaps the worst red-herring argument made by the Left against any war (remember, these guys were against Afghanistan every bit as much as Iraq--and the Gulf War, Panama, Grenada, Cold War, Vietnam, etc.), is the ol' "Would you send your kids to this war?" As if any parent would volunteer any child to be sent to any war. Palestinian parents, excepted.

Phil Hendrie reminds us that our all volunteer army is not made up of children. They are men and women, and damn fine ones at that:

To call the great professional men and women who serve in our armed forces "kids" is a semantical tactic employed by my Poseur Leftist friends. They know that by tossing this little hand grenade into the mix any hope one has for a debate on fact, as opposed to hysterical rumor, flies right out the window. Who can not, at a moment like that, bow their head, and ponder ever so deeply, the meaning of children dying in a war.

Ladies and Gentlemen, calling these great people, part of the best trained and best equipped military in the history of the world, "kids" is an obscene insult.

And it's intended as one....

Calling professional and very adult American soldiers "kids" is only one weapon in the emotional ammo dump the Poseur-Left keeps rummaging through. Unsubstantiated but oft-repeated and provocative charges of war crime, torture and over-kill keep the easily confused all the more easily confused. The very people who ask for infinitesimal and undeniable proof of WMD's and terror links offer nothing but ludicrous rumor and gossip to bolster their arguments.

Next time you see one of our brave soldiers at a restaraunt or bar, do America a favor and pick up their tab. Oh, and if you happen to come across Michael Moore, do America a favor and and give him a good swift kick in the ass.
