And so it begins...

If the soldiers were really "Fighting for our freedom" They'd be killing our congressmen. Instead, they will likely be sent to another middle eastern country to provoke Al Queda even further and make us less free...

[moostraks]

So far comments are encouraging...

[jkob]

You and McCain should volunteer

[Fivezeroes]

As I've said it wont be long now before we invade Syria... and then Iran.... We're doing our best to goude(sp) China and Russia into a war....

[Carlybee]

He needs a boot where the sun doesn't shine.

[Spikender]

Freaking typical. I was wondering how soon it'd be before I'd see Graham's name in connection with warmongering in a thread title again.

[vita3]

Suprised nobody has thrown blood on Lyndsey yet.

[Brian4Liberty]

The Syrian government today accused rebels of firing a chemical weapon in the north of the country, killing at least 25 people in the Aleppo province. But rebels denied the report, instead accusing regime forces of firing a chemical weapon on a long-range missile. Neither of those allegations have been verified.

Well then, that settles it. Let's send in all the troops we can muster!

Can we put Lindsey on a horse and let him lead the charge?

[Brian4Liberty]

He needs a boot where the sun doesn't shine.

Won't fit. Joe Lieberman is hiding there.

[Koz]

His boots, er loafers should be the first ones on the ground in Syria if he is so keen on sending troops. He can cut a check out if his personal account to pay for it too.

[FSP-Rebel]

Now that's what I call a Wacko Bird.

I think Ron's chicken hawk speech to Gingrich at the debate would go appropriately here.

[Peace Piper]

Why? Unl;ike Gingrich, he actually was in the military-and still is. USAF 82-88 and is currently a Colonel in the South Carolina Air National Guard...

[Anti Federalist]

Carry your pole smoking ass first.

[shane77m]

Be sure and give Graham a rifle without a firing pin, plate carriers without the plates, and a baseball helmet. Put him right on the front line.

[BAllen]

No surprise coming from Grahamnesty. War pig.

[Origanalist]

Vampires need blood..

[AngryCanadian]

Not just Graham but also a Top Dem (http://thecable.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/03/19/top_democrat_endorses_syria_no_fly_zone).

[anaconda]

Not surprised that Lindsey is thinking of men in boots.

[Keith and stuff]

Graham is a hero and so is McCain so that doesn't make any sense.


Military service
Graham joined the United States Air Force in 1982, and served on active duty until 1988. Following his departure he stayed in the military, joining the South Carolina Air National Guard[2] and the U.S. Air Force Reserve. During the Gulf War, he was recalled to active duty, serving as a Judge Advocate at McEntire Air National Guard Station in Eastover, South Carolina, where he helped brief departing pilots on the laws of war.[3] He later transferred from the Air National Guard to the Air Force Reserve.

In 1998, according to the Congressional daily newspaper The Hill, Graham was describing himself on his website as an Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm veteran. In reality, he never left South Carolina. Graham responded "I have not told anybody I'm a combatant," he said. "I'm not a war hero, and never said I was. I never intended to lie. If I have lied about my military record, I'm not fit to serve in Congress," further noting that he "never deployed."[4]

In 2004, Graham received a promotion to Colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserve at a White House ceremony officiated by President George W. Bush.

Graham served in Iraq as a reservist on active duty for short periods during April and two weeks in August 2007, where he worked on detainee and rule-of-law issues.[5] He also served in Afghanistan during the August 2009 Senate recess.[6]
Through 2010, Graham served as a senior instructor for the Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Air Force.[7]

In reality he never saw any combat or suffering of the wars that he strongly supports not surprised.

[Christian Liberty]

Graham may be in the military, doesn't make him a hero.

"where he helped brief departing pilots on the laws of war"

America has proven over & over, it has no use for the laws of war.
