If that Senator’s daughter is about to carry a rifle for two years he might be a wee bit more careful about the why of a war.

iirc, there are quiet a few children of people serving in congress (and higher) that are on active duty

Biden I think
McCain
Duncan Hunter, James Webb, Joe Wilson amongst others

MBT (magical balance trooper) kicks in:
