Re: Guess I am kinda naive. The military deliberately sabotages the President because they are promised... more airplanes to play with? Welcome to the real world. Ever hear the joke about "Republican puppies"? * When Bill Clinton entered the White House, he decided that he did not like a protocol that had been unofficially established by Ronnie Ray-gun. Reagan started the habit of saluting the Marine honor guard every time he entered or exited Marine One, the Presidential helicopter that whisks the President from the White House to Andrews or Camp David. There was no formal rule on this salute, so when Clinton took over, he felt that he wasn't obligated to continue the tradition. Word came down from the Joint Chiefs of Staff to Clinton's staff that Clinton's behavior was a slight to the military and that his refusal to salute the Marine guard was regarded by the JCS as an insult. Clinton capitulated and the salute was restored. Just who is running this country? (Hint: It is not the President.) * Is America over-militarized? This theme is discussed with great clarity by a West Point grad and Boston University professor in a new book titled "The New American Militarism". I think this is equally as important as Chalmers Johnson's "The Sorrows of Empire", another must-read, in my opinion: tomdispatch.com
