You do not find that same level of understanding in the officer ranks, who know that what it really means is that the Republicans are better hawks on the backs of the poor, Tell that to Colin Powell.

Al, <You do not find that same level of understanding in the officer ranks, who know that what it really means is that the Republicans are better hawks on the backs of the poor, a greater number of which join the military for lack of alternatives.> Actually, I have a good friend who is (until just recently) an officer in the Army. A graduate of West Point and a staunch conservative, he tells me that very few of his West Point buddies are liberal. Kind of made for an awkward situation when Bill Clinton himself spoke at his graduation in 1997. (In fact, I was there.) Let's just say the cadets were glad they wore gloves as they each shook hands with "Slick Willie." So you'll understand if I have a hard time believing your assertions? Tenchusatsu
