"Honorable?" Doesn't that automatically eliminate anybody who would

I was thinking that if every Congressman was ex-military, it would no
longer be seen as a dishonorable job. But then I got to thinking about
some of the ones who ARE ex-military, ....

Plus, if all Congressmen were ex-military, we might soon have a country
run BY the military.

And that's not sour grapes--I have an honorable discharge, and I spent
thirteen years in the Navy. (Technically sixteen, but I was inactive
the last three.)
