I was struck by the same comments.

But especially Carter's role.

I hated Carter even before I knew that shit.
My old (very small) unit provided over 50% of the SF men for Desert One.

My wife asked me a few moments ago what I think will happen if Kerry wins. I told her Carter began the significant deterioration of our Armed Forces. Clinton pursued similar policies and did enormous harm. Clinton was able to tear us down even further than Carter because Clinton had 8 years. I then said if Kerry wins the dismantling of America will continue. Then I told her, "If you want to understand what is happening to America, reread "The Rise And Fall Of The Roman Empire."

jj,
Thanks for helping to get the word out. It strikes me that if our professional warriors have become reluctant warriors. If our cadre of Pros have already lost their will to fight, it does not matter who becomes president on Tuesday.
