Sen. Lindsey Graham (SC), a Credible Republican
Operation Yellow Elephant salutes Senator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, as the only U.S. Senator to have served on active duty in Iraq. [This was piggy-backed onto a recent Congressional Delegation visit to Iraq with fellow Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona.]While we don't know if Senator Graham has urged those eligible to serve [healthy heterosexuals 41 and under] to show their support for President Bush and our country's policy objectives in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere by volunteering for military service, his personal example is quite compelling.

I find it funny that the owner of this blog has never served in the military. Mr. OYE Blogman, when will you stand up and BE A MAN?!?!
anonymous-
As soon as our Army Reserve increases the maximum age a bit more.
How about you?
I would find Graham's sacrifice more compelling if this weren't the first time he had deployed to Iraq. I would find it more compelling if he had spent more than 8 days there. I would find it truly compelling if he had been carrying a rifle, without being surrounded by an entire company if infantry.
"Colonel" Graham, my ass.
