<<Ex-military brass to endorse Bush >> The Brotherhood of Policemen have also endorsed him. I'll bet he's got more endorsements coming.

More evidence that the country can't survive another 4 years of Clinton/Gore: THE PENTAGON, SEPT. 15, 2000 (CBS News) - For the first time in more than a decade, every ship and submarine in the United States Navy was ordered Friday to stand down and review safety and navigation procedures. The order required all 300 ships in the fleet to take one full day to review safety and navigation procedures. Ship commanders were to conduct the safety review as soon as possible but not at a time that interferes with mission requirements. . . . it's impossible to pinpoint a single cause for these accidents, but they have occurred at a time when Navy admirals are becoming increasingly vocal about being asked to do too much with too little money. The latest, Vice Admiral John Nathman, commander of Naval air forces in the Pacific, said, "The fact is we have reached such a low level of funding it will soon be impossible to meet the expectations of this nation in executing our operational tasks and completing the mission. The standdown occurs at a time when the readiness of America's armed forces is being questioned on the campaign trail. Nathman's statement became instant ammunition for Texas Governor George Bush, who quoted the admiral Friday as further evidence of declining military readiness. iwon.com\|national\|09-15-2000::21:15\|cbs,00.html
