Since our fearless leader did not actually serve in the military, he's probably not aware that 'BOYS' (or 'GIRLS') do not enlist and serve. They are called MEN and WOMEN. BOYS don't actually have what it takes to really make a real sacrifice and a real commitment to our country. Not being able to make and KEEP that sacrifice or commitment (or we could call it cutting and runninng) is something a frightened BOY would do if he may have to, oh I don't know, fly a plane in combat maybe.
Sen-elect Webb's son is a MAN. I wouldn't expect GWB to understand the nuance there.
And so love Webb for not falling for the false empathy....glad I voted for him...
