の華氏911を見る。マイケル・ムーアは連邦議員に呼びかける。「あなたが本当にイラク戦争に賛成ならば、あなたの息子さんを入隊させてイラクで国に貢献させませんか?」ある議員は適当にあしらい、ある議員は急ぎ足に立ち去る。 連邦議員535人の内、子どもがイラクに行ったのは1人だけである。

Defense and Veterans Issues
Senator Tim Johnson was the only seated member of Congress to have a son or daughter serving in the active duty military when the Senate voted to approve the use of force in Iraq. Johnson’s oldest son, Brooks, served in the Army’s 101st Airborne Division, which would surely be mobilized to fight in Iraq. Johnson ultimately voted to permit the use of force, and his son served admirably in Iraq, having already served in other conflicts in Bosnia and Kosovo. Brooks Johnson would later go on to serve in the conflict in Afghanistan as well.
