unclewest: I would feel MUCH BETTER if we had a president who was a war hero who had actually spent some time out in the trenches on the battlefield... Message 18473481 The appreciation for what war is really like is important...I think folks like Kerry, Hagel, and Powell would be more thoughtful than Bush and would NOT rush to pull the trigger to go to war...I heard Colonel Hackworth the other night on one of the CNBC programs and he thinks Bush is pushing too hard to go war...he said that gulf war veterans from 10 years ago have NOT been taken care of properly...he also feels that there may be a way to deal with Saddam without going to war -- better for our troops and better for the region. I don't think many folks can question Colonel Hackworth's patriotism and credibility...He feels 'the civilian warHawks in the current Administration' have no idea about what war is really like. I think this country would be much better off IF we had a real war hero as president...IMO, there is a reasonable chance that Senator John Kerry may be our next president...stay tuned. -s2
