I've got to give you an interim recognition post. Never have I been given so much material to work with. It's a joy. It's not an opportunity that I'll treat lightly. The biggest challenge is not to make it an extensive piece. I'm sure that the near final draft will be too long and I'll have to pare it back some.

I can't think of another time when I've ever moved an SI response temporarily off to a word processor. This is going to be nearly as much fun as the fictional trial of Samual Adams.

It's a shame I don't have the time to do it in one sitting. Too many conflicting priorities. But the draft is well underway.

Perhaps you're too young to remember the way our nations military was eviscerated in the seventies by Carter and other leftists, but I am not.

Or, perhaps you are too old to remember the way Carter built up the military:

<<< Finally, after 1978 the Carter-Reagan buildup is obvious in the spending figures. Between 1978 and 1980, real military outlays increased by $15.7 billion, or 10.4 percent >>>

I remember the Carter/Reagan Presidential campaign as a competition to see who could advocate more military spending.
