Well, I'm not Puck, and I wouldn't listen to Rush if you paid me.

I think the main reason for the discrepancies - the military is comprised of volunteers. And once they volunteer, they are at the mercy of the Government. They go where, and when, they are told.

The 9/11 victims did not volunteer to be in the WTC, or those airplanes, on that date.

Personally, I would love to see more members of Congress serving in the military - and more of those from talk radio and talk TV - and I mean all of them, from all sides of the spectrum.
