The percentage of members of Congress with children serving in the military is only slightly above 1 percent. Sens. Christopher Bond, a Missouri Republican, and Tim Johnson, a South Dakota Democrat, have had sons serve combat missions in Iraq, Time said.
This from a report that Sen. McCain's son is enlisting in the Marines. I wish him well.
Colonel Bob at Altercation notes on this fact:
Unfortunately, as the article notes, only 1% of our representatives in Congress have family in service. Some 32, however, are apparently married to lobbyists.
