Let LoBiondo Serve in Iraq

Rep. Frank LoBiondo, R-2nd, voted to go to war against the people of Iraq. But LoBiondo did not say, "Follow me.'' Instead, he sent our National Guard and Reserves over to do the job. Now he is in our schools trying to recruit our children to fight his war.I looked on LoBiondo's Web site to check on what branch of the armed forces he served in. Nowhere could I find where he served his country on the battlefield. Could it be that the man who calls for war refused to fight for his country?Whatever the reason, there is still time to make good and call himself a man. He could take his turn and serve a year in Iraq. Being that LoBiondo is in the trucking business, he can drive a truck. They need truck drivers real bad on the Baghdad airport road.LoBiondo has the political savvy. He can straighten the political question out quickly. Just imagine what a boost the U.S. Army recruiting drive would have if LoBiondo would say, "Follow me to Iraq.''
