Right off the bat, and without thinking about it too much, I note that you omitted Bob Dole, who ran against Clinton in 1996 and was a long-term Senator from Kansas, from the GOP list. He was wounded and permanently disabled (lame right arm) in WWII. And let's not forget the current Secretary of State, Colin Powell...the commander of Operation Desert Storm during the GHWB administration.
True but I also never made the claim this list was all inclusive either. This list was sent to me and I found it highly interesting and thought I would share it.
If you can find a full listing of the entire house of Senate and their service listings then by all means post it up because I would be more than willing to look at it. I do however, find it interesting that the most vocal of those responsible have not served or have been allowed deferments instead of service.
