Soldiers deaths mean nothing to non military people like Bush/Cheney. If Bush had to fight for his country he would skip the country first. Cheney used the loop hole as hardship and then used Lynn having a baby as his way out of serving the United States. If the draft is set up I just might start a company that uses what Cheney used the loop hole system. Talk about military examples for our youth to follow two weak cowards giving the orders not wonder the lost of our troops mean nothing.
