As the guy trying to enjoy the beer and be left alone by these chickenhawks, and yes, admittedly by dad, trained liars, Jeff precisely explains why I find little “humor” when dealing with them.
Why does Romney need five sons? Surely he could function more efficiently and profitably with three, or maybe just two. Downsizing, like charity, begins at home! Trim the fat, Mitt!

Libya…..now Jordan at the Syrian border…sending US weapons to “rebels” in Syria…which includes more and more Jihadists moving in, as they did in Iraq after Saddam was arrested.-and Bush got the US Congress’ vote for Afghanistan and Iraq; plus 30 allies for Iraq.
I found this toon painful to read. Is there ANY witness to verify the sons said anything as depicted here? Any person who was able to avoid going to Vietnam legally should have, especially after 1969. Any person using legal means to avoid going should not have supported the war and should have gone out of their way to support the troops who were too often verbally abused for following their legal obligations under laws passed by men sitting in comfortable chairs under the capital dome.I had three relatives who went to Vietnam and only one came back with his mind and body intact. I’ve known many people who came back, and too many of them never fully left.This cartoon, if it is not depicting actual actions AND comments, is unethical Mr. Danziger. But if it is accurate, then it doesn’t go far enough to create the kind of outrage such hypocrisy would deserve.One question- How does a pacifist whose religion forbids being involved in war justify being CnC and sending non moslem sons and daughters into harms way? Will Romney, like Carter, declare he will pray about it till the conflict is resolved?Respectfully,C.
BTW: Fred McMurray only had THREE sons,(“My Three Sons” for you younger folks.) and he was always teaching them moral values, and to tell the truth, not lie through there teeth at any opportunity.
Ahab: also had friends who served in dangerous places in the Peace Corps, quite honorably, indeed. Also, I have no problem with the Society of Friends, who also let their “good works” actually speak for them, without efforts to convert folks, or “make a buck”.
Willard raised all five sons to follow in his ChickenHawk footsteps. -I assume they also all tortured their dogs and lied on their income tax returns. -Willard is an inspiration, you know.

Almost as good as Ryan muscling his way into a soup kitchen and staging a phony photo op.

Romney is already the master of Government By Symbolism, just what this country doesn’t need.
