Is there an equivalent term in Colombia for those middle and upper class Colombians who sitting cosily in Canada, Miami, or north Bogota are the most adamant supporters of war ?
What's the term for those that would never sacrifice their own lives, but want to force some other humilde Colombian that couldn't buy his way out of military service to sacrifice his life hiking through the mountain jungles and muddy villages of Colombia ?

Sr Tertius says on Jan 17, 2008, 07:34: Hmmm... maybe we need a specific word for those who favor a military solution but are not willing to join the military themselves. As I've said before, war is a lot of fun when you don't have to fight it. "When the finger points to the moon, the fool looks at the finger" (Chinese proverb) 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

Lincoln was of Military Age during Vietnam but never served. The Father of the Balart Brothers Cut and Ran from Cuba instead of Fighting Castro . HOWEVER, He and brother mario, have no qualms about voting to send the children of others across Harm's WAY into Iraq. True Chicken Hawks and deserving of the Nic "Vaselinos",,, "Wait a minute. What did you just say? You're predicting $4-a-gallon gas? That's interesting. I hadn't heard that." -- Feb. 28, 2008 --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |
