Cenk calls out top Republican leaders who dodged military service as ‘cowards of the USA.’ He reveals the list of excuses used by Romney, Gingrich, Cheney among others. “All of these Republican warmongers are huge hypocrites and they were all scared, none of them went [to war]” says Cenk

These are the modern day royalty we're talking about. They don't go and fight wars. That's for us common folk to do.
