Correction:

"Of course, I don't oppose slavery and so I do not agree with Boudreaux on this issue."

Good thinking and I will go you one better.

"If you protect a man from folly, you will find you have raised a nation of fools". William Penn

Let us take the wisdom in that astatement and turn it into this: "If those who vote for war do not go to fight that war, then you will find voting for war an easy task."

or

"Those who make the laws must live by those laws."

It is my personal philosophy that our laws should make it mandatory for all congresscritters who vote to send our troops into combat, or those who do not actively vote to oppose it, be required to accompany those troops either as a company commander of combat troops or as a front line medic.

Demanding that others go where you will not just doesn't make for good law.
