All those who oppose the war in Iraq(or anyone else).

If you were the chief of police for some town and your son was a cop under you, would you send him on a domestic dispute call or a robbery call? The President (any President) must make decisions on what he feels is best for the country. Sometimes that means putting our armed forces in harms way.

Peter Schweitzer published an article on the late Caspar Weinberger, Secretary of Defense under Reagan. It concludes with this remark:

Weinberger was a soldier himself during the Second World War and served under MacArthur in the Pacific. He was a member of "The Greatest Generation," but he would speak movingly about the heroic acts of our soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. When I asked him to compare today's heroism with that of his generation, he made an interesting point. "Members of 'the greatest generation' were drafted," he told me in a broken voice. "These soldiers all volunteered."

I had not thought about this before, but he's right.
