As of 2004, I believe that there were at least seven members of congress with children in the military, and at least two members of Congress who have children in Iraq.\n\nWith close to 300 million people in America and our Active military personel numbering approx 1.4 million, you should expect 1.4/300 congressment to have a child in the military.  If they have 7/535, this is actually greater than the average.\n\n1.4/300= .00467% as compared to 7/535= .01308%\n\nCongress actaully has a higher percentage of children in the military than the US population.  Once you take that into consideration, your question answers itself.

Even if we pull our combat troops out today, the Iraqui military is still going to need logistical support for a long time. American troops will be there for at least a decade.

Its A Burning Question :\n\nThe US Congress passed a resolution in October 2002 that authorized military force to enforce UN sanctions and "defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq." \n\nOn 20 March 2003, the United States launched a war against Iraq, with President Bush saying the attack was to "disarm Iraq and to free its people"; 250,000 United States troops were supported by approximately 45,000 British, 2,000 Australian and 200 Polish combat forces. \n\nThe US State Department released this list of the "coalition of the willing": Afghanistan, Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan and the United States. \n\nOn 1 May, aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and under a "Mission Accomplished" banner, the President said, "Major combat operations have ended; in the battle of iraq, the US and her allies have prevailed... We've removed an ally of al Qaida." Fighting continues; there is no scheduled departure of US troops. \n\nThe Iraqi Interim Government (IIG) assumed authority for governing Iraq on June 28, 2004. Elections are scheduled for January 2005. \n\nWhereas the first Gulf War was measured in days, this second has been measured in months. Fewer than 200 US military were killed in the first war; more than 1,000 have been killed in the second. Congress has appropriated $151 billion for the war effort.

Iraq is pretty big.  I'm pretty sure they have more than just 5 cities.

LOL, AWESOME!  I think that it would be good for more people to join the military...especially the ones who have never been in Iraq (and never will be) yet still think they know what's going on over there!  Too bad we'll have to wait until 2024...the war will be over by then!

I saw on CNN last night that to be as effective as we were in world war 2 we would have to increase our military to over 400,000 troops. that would be 14 soldiers for every thousand Iraqis' that would mean a large scale draft and many many opinions support that idea. our allies seem to be going out the backdoor and practically the whole world thinks we should too. there's no way to leave this war and save face unless we win and the only way to win is a draft and I don't support a draft. many others don't either. I say start now pulling them out slowly. maybe some of them could come home for Christmas

That's 2391 too many.  We sent them to die for no good reason.  America should only go to war when it's absolutely necessary, and Iraq was not necessary.
