Barry Obama, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid: none of them served in the US armed forces. Has there ever been an administration where the president, vice-president, speaker of the House, and the Senate majority leader were all chickenhawks?

How does the reality match the headline:

Obama Pledges an America ‘Stronger Than Ever’ ?
 
Thank GOD we didn't elect a military man----the only one running wanted to stay in Iraq 100 years!

In Biden's case, he at least tried to join the military, but his health problems didn't get him past the physical. He was told he wasn't eligible for service...and he wanted to fight in Vietnam.

The other asshats have no excuse.
 
You misunderstand the term "chickenhawks". The term refers to persons who are eager for others to fight wars and who have not themselves been a part of the military. Persons like Dick Cheney, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Katherine Harris, Trent Lott, Saxby Chambliss, and Karl Rove are chickenhawks.

The current president and vice president have - to greater or lesser degree - opposed the invasion and occupation of Iraq, for instance, and got elected in part because of the promise to end the occupation.

The lack of military experience did not appear to have hurt Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton, for instance.
 
No maybe the second weakest. If i recall correctly neither Bush, Cheney, Hassert or Frist ever served in the Military?

And what does the Military have to do with being able to govern? Most people i know who are serving are just there to make sure they have a check every two weeks.

You, my friend, are a partisan fool.
