Perhaps you should read the job description for 11B.

It was secret code for the elite serving the government.......was never about Americans. Sad to think of all the lives lost over a war that was never really any accomplishment. Plus, the very people President Bush told us to fear, President Obama is wrapping them with kindness disguised as a nuclear bomb.

I do believe the wool has been pulled over the American people's eyes by both administrations.......time to show them Americans are awake!

He could have been like John Kerry and served just long enough get shot by his own men and returned homeside to attack those he served with and lie about how brave he was.

In other words, worthless.

As for photo ops, you mean like Jane Fonda?

I can well imagine not wanting to serve on a nationally covered murder trial.

I have served on two juries; one a civil case with absolutely no "importance" to anyone not directly involved, but the other dealt with multiple child abuse charges against a father who also was a coach for his daughter's sports team (many of whom he was accused of molesting).

The civil case was much easier to deal with personally, and we didn't have the level of public scrutiny the Holmes trial will generate.

Bush said we could trust Putin by the look of his eyes. Alright then.

Actually I meant him showing up to jury duty to take a few photos with minorities. Politicians can never pass on a photo op. Nor a positive story.

Have you noticed how no democrats are mentioned as being called for jury duty, at least none that are politicians?

Wrong. Every one who sent had some kind of training, even if it were ground combat. No one was sent with no experience at all.

Unlike Obama for commander in chief.
