Boxer Down
The vapidity - the sheer mindlessness - of Sen. Boxer's assertion makes it clear that the next two years are going to be a time of bitterness and rancor, marked by pettiness of spirit and political self-indulgence of a sort not seen in America for a very long time
What did you expect? Civility and common sense?

I expected a certain level of nastiness, but attacking a woman because she has choosen not to have children is an all time low.
What ever happened to "freedom of choice"? Most of the same people who would attack Rice for being childless are the same people who support a woman's right to abort her unborn child. So does this not make sense to anyone else?

This is pretty funny because usually it's the republicans who push everyone to breed.
She does make a point. Those who think this is such a "just" war should send their own kids or go themselves to fight it. The military did raise the maximum age limit. I still remember a line from a movie. "War is old men talking & young men dieing". It's easy to "support" a war when you're not risking any blood for it.
