More saber-rattling by Lindsey Graham.

Sen Graham's playing to the goddamn 60-70% unChristlike, small (c) 
christian SC voters who are war-lusters in SC.

Graham as USAFR JAG Colonel makes $7000/mo while on active duty. That's in
addition to his Senate pay/bennies. He has never been in combat, and I 
wager cannot pass a PT Test.

Sen DeMint, who along with Graham and Lieberman, gave much support to the 
right-wing coup of the oligarchs in Honduras in Jan2010, is even worse. 
(Now we're building 2 more airfields in Honduras for the lighter-skinned 
oligarchs, becoming hated by the darker-skinned Hondurans.

MY beliefs now and the past:

DeMint and Graham do not have any of their bloodline in the military.
They are clones of the majority of people in SC and most other Americans 
who consider themselves to be the noblesse oblige, At least the skewed-US 
version of noblesse oblige.

They consider themselves too sanctimoniously virtuous to do military/other
service to this nation in preemptive war that they themselves helped to
start and continue to hoopla. Yeh, Sis-boom-Bah, we're Number 1!

This tilted version of American noblesse oblige thinks naught about paying 
for multiple wars in terms of blood costs, or taxes which they make 
invisible. They just lust for wars.

They then have the effrontery to demean the continual military blood
sacrifices from those who are serving, by demanding that those serving
continue their sacrifices ever more.

The majority of Americans are faith-before-reason militaristic. They don't 
want to sacrifice at all.
These Americans just want those others serving in the military to be their 
Praetorian Guard so they can satisfy there compulsions to make wars can be 
sated.

Forgive the rant,
Easy

PPS: Our senate is becoming so much like the Roman senate that it became 
terrifying a decade ago. See Chalmers Johnson 2003.
