Thought for the day:
Republicans spend a lot of time saying that their opponents don't "support the troops". They also say that they (the Republicans) are "pro-life" and "pro-child". They do seem to be "pro-troop" in about the same measure as they are "pro-child". Here's a quick rundown of their positions:
| "Pro-Child" | "Pro-Troop" |
|---|---|
| We need lots of children so we don't get overrun by brown people. | We need lots of troops so we don't get overrun by Muslims (who are mostly brown). |
| But I mostly care about other people having kids. | But I want it to be other people's kids going off to fight. |
| I only care about children till they're born. | I only care about the troops till they're deployed. |
| Education and health care for born children is optional. | Training, armor, and health care for deployed troops is optional. |
| Cutting (really) rich people's taxes is more important than actual children. | Cutting (really) rich people's taxes is more important than actual troops. |

I would also add:
Pro-Child:
I only care about college and career opportunities for my children.
Pro-Troop: Vocational training and benefits for returning troops is optional.
