Last time I checked, the Congressional Record (2009), some 41% of the members of both houses had served in the military or had children who were currently or had served in the military. IMHO, when some one shoves a microphone into the face of a Congressman and bellows "do you have children who serve..." kinda ignores the fact that some members of both houses really do have full knowledge of what they are asking their fellow countrymen to do when they make the decision to send our troops into harm's way.
Michael Moore generates a lot of heat with his actions, to be fair, he does have some valid points, but, again, IMHO his primary purpose is not to make a difference, but to rake in money. All power to him! He has every right to earn a living at whatever makes him happy and I respect him for that. I am also of the opinion that Mr. Moore either ignores or completely disregards the facts when they may happen to interfere with the story that he is spinning.
Sorry, but when I see someone trying to score points for their agenda by pulling, for example, some of Mr. Moore's stunts, I do tend to see red and start asking, "and when did you last serve your country sir?"
