If your trying to make the point that there are so few Veterans now days that join the Political sector after service, I totally agree. They're very few and far between, and for the life of me, I can't understand why?

Some well- respected names on that Senator list. Coincidence? Think not. I was lucky enough to shake Sen.Inouye’s hand in 2004. Caught him at Honolulu airport.

Roosevelt grew disheartened with the advancement of the Republican Party and sought the presidency in the election of 1912 under a new progressive party called the Bull Moose Party. Campaigning in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in October 1912, he was shot in the chest shortly before a speech. The bullet was slowed by his steel eyeglass case and a thick copy of the speech he kept in his jacket pocket. He decided to deliver the speech, anyway, and spoke for 90 minutes before seeking medical attention.

"Ladies and gentlemen,” he said as he took the stage, “I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."

that most certainly is Badass right there....
