This war has been so unfair to the people who have fought it. It reminds of learning about how people bought their way out of conscription during the civil war. Those in the national guard and in the Reserves really paid the price...I feel that it should now be a requirement for any member of the House of Representatives or Senate - a tour of duty in the any war where they approved any funding - age should not be a factor - it hasn't been for many of the people in the National Guard or the Reserves.
