Among her few mobilizations: security for a marathon (she's a runner, you know). Hooah! I am really tired of seeing our troops being used like little plastic soldiers by the GOP. Cheney successfully applied for five draft deferments during his college years, which happened to coincide with the Vietnam War. He was all for the war, but had "other priorities" than serving in the military.

And military serve has always been a selling-point in American politics, which is all the more reason that military service MUST be open to gays and lesbians.
