A military, not a nation, at war...

The Bush administration's rallying call that America is a nation at war is increasingly ringing hollow to men and women in uniform, who argue in frustration that America is not a nation at war, but a nation with only its military at war.

From bases in Iraq and across the United States to the Pentagon and the military's war colleges, officers and enlisted personnel quietly raise a question for political leaders: if America is truly on a war footing, why is so little sacrifice asked of the nation at large?

why does it ring hollow...? because bushco is hollow or, as we used to say in corporate life, nothing but a bunch of empty suits... i suspect that when they look in the mirror, there is no reflection...
