Does Anyone Have That Website Where the Military Service of Senators

[Solomon]

and Congressman are listed?

I used to have it saved but I lost it. I remember being shocked that so many democrats had served and almost no republicans.

7. Read the sources provided in this thread.

They are more reliable than "what you have heard."

A great problem in this Nation is that millions of people rely on "what they heard" from Limbaugh, Fox News, the corporate media, and other propagandists, without looking further. The super-rich spend billions on propaganda because it works. Simple-minded people like to be told what they want to hear.

8. Actually

I was questioning the reliability of the Nave League links, which show more Repub vets than Dem vets in both houses. But I did some checking and the Navy Leage documents are accurate.

But thank you.
