This generation
of
politicians is the generation of deferments and special privileges that
got the out of military service and harms way (obviously notable
exceptions
i.e. Powell, McCain, Kerry).

Kerry tried to get deferments (three times) and failed, then volunteered for
what he though was safe duty (Navy), then tried again to get safe duty (SB's
at the time were coastal).

At least find out what you're talking about and don't just rely on the MSM.
