The primary example of armchair soldiering was the 2004 election. John Kerry volunteered for infantry service in Vietnam, Bush did everything he could to avoid it.
We say we admire doers over talkers in this country, but it's not true. We admire the talkers. We prefer the illusion of toughness over actual toughness.
Who was it that said Kerry is as tough as a powder puff? I forget. In any case, it was Kerry and his liberal ilk who cost us that war by politicizing it, as they have ever since.
Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
