Now there's actually ONE Senator who has a living close relative in the active duty military.

It's pretty interesting to me, considering that none of the others have any close relatives in service at this time - it's just not the career move of a person with a high profile political family.

Reminds me of when I enlisted - except that I was 27, and quit a career as a software developer to join the infantry.

Considering Senator McCain's family has a long tradition of military service, I don't find this all that surprising.
But for his son's sake, I just hope McCain (or the military) try giving him any special treatment.

Adds another point to my suppor tof him in 2008. McCain-Feingold 2008!

Wonder where he'll be stationed? There are, sadly, a lot of options.

I'll say South Korea...course, he's got some training to do first.

I wish him luck...I have a feeling he'll need at least a little.

I was really suprised it would be McCains son. Are you sure that he is the only stationed son in the entire senate?

Let me guess, he won't be stationed in the Sunni Triangle?
