It has now been 651 days since Jenna and Not-Jenna Bush, the slacker offspring of Preznit Numnutz, graduated from college and they are still not in the uniform of the US armed services.
Why? Because they have other priorities. They are too busy partying down in Georgetown to show their support for the war by enlisting their chickenhawk-child selves into the military service, that's why.
Why can't they be like their royal counterparts in the UK? The Royal Family, unlike the Bush Crime Family, has a centuries-long tradition of honorable military service. Prince Andrew was a combat helicopter pilot in La Guerre de las Malvinas (aka the Falklands War), Prince William, direct heir to the throne, has entered Sandhurst (Britain's West Point), and little brother Prince Harry graduates Sandhurst in April and could be sent to Iraq as a cavalry lieutenant.
How's that shit, Jenna and Not-Jenna? That make you a proud father, Baby Doc?
The rest you, those who think the proud military tradition of this nation needs to be upheld by those most likely to profit from it, be sure to sign the Buzzflash petition and demand that the Bush offspring enlist, or else bring the troops home. If it's not a cause noble enough for any of the children of the Bush Dynasty to join, then it's not noble enough for our sons and daughters to die for.

I would agree with your proposal that the Bush offspring should serve, IF they are definitely for the war. We have no way of knowing what their opinions on this are.
However, George has no right to send others into harm's way, since he was unwilling to serve during Vietnam. When I returned from Vietnam (vicinity Kontum, Banmethuout, Trung Lap)and wanted to join the reserves, I was not accepted, since the reserves were then full of draft-dodgers like George.
