Utter nonsense.
This has nothing to do with blackmail or education.
It's about how loose our policy makers have become with the all volunteer military.
It's about making sure we only wage war when it's really necessary, and then ensuring we give our troops everything they need.
It's the assumption that if Congress was to send their kids and grandkids to fight a war, they might think a bit harder about what exactly they were supporting.
Sure, it's a stunt...and nothing more, but the message is pretty true.
