We've already established that military service isn't a prerequisite to being V.P. Why continue to flog the subject? Didn't we have to activate thousands of Reserves? Now you see the VALUE OF RESERVES?!?!?<GGGG> I can't believe you really want to bring up the subject of dirty campaign fund raising. <ROTFL>

<<I remember that it took several months for our military to get into place in order to start the Gulf War. Didn't we have to activate thousands of Reserves? We weren't exactly ready for that war even under Sec. of Defense Cheney.>> It takes time to move that many men and equipment 1000s of miles. We had a reserve army, fewer on active service but the reserves well trained and ready. Ready? Geez, seems like 90 days of pin point bombing and a day of real battle to beat the 4th largest army on the face of the Earth. Not ready? Bet we couldn't do it today.
