Bushinations: Daddy, what did you do in the war?

Author, journalist and Vietnam veteran William Broyles Jr. posted a powerful, insightful essay on today’s Times OpEd page: A War for Us, Fought by Them. I was too young to serve in Vietnam and too old for the first Gulf War, not that I would have volunteered anyway, but I think Broyles’ points about the disconnect between our leading politicians and family military service are not just important but also meaningful in policymaking.
