If you have not served as a police officer, should you be able to call them to a volatile situation?
Should Governor Blanco have been able to call the National Guard into New Orleans to restore order to the chaotic situation if she nor her family served?
Should President Clinton have been able to order military action since he didn't serve? President Obama?
Almost all of Romney's children are of age to serve or volunteer for the armed services, yet, none of them have enlisted.

Afghan objective: to get bin Laden. The initial plan was to get in and out and Afghan would last for several weeks. (Currently reading Kurt Eichenwald's "500 Days") Well, bin Laden is dead so why are we still there? We have just entered the 12th year.
