    Whats funny about the entire thing is about 20 years ago military-turned-politicians were almost always Republicans, whereas now we would be lucky to need both hands to count the number of veterans in the congress
    There are currently 14 democratic senators that are veterans and 18 republicans with one independent. One of the dems is Zell Miller so I guess that makes 19 republicans
    There are 121 members of the House that are veterans. You must have some big hands.

    Maybe he just has a large collection.

    I stand corrected then, but when I'm talking about decades ago I meant more along the lines of veterans of wars, not just people who pulled 4 years in the guard. I'm not saying thats what these current vets did, because I don't know, nor am i saying they are posers for their service, but when I think vets in the congress i think of Bob Doles and so forth. I did 4 years in the guard right out of high school and it was a very uneventful, peacetime enlistment, so I don't exactly feel proper calling myslef a "veteran." By prospective-employer definition someone who enlists, breaks their knee 2 weeks out of AIT and gets a medical discharge is considered a "disabled veteran." Not sure what the legal definition is.
