Your point is valid. My feeling would be if the majority of this country think some lying, flip flopping opportunistic POS should be the CIC then I am worrying about the wrong country.

>>Why die for someone you don't trust.<< I understand the logic of that. I just don't find it consistent with patriotism. Americans are not all born to be patriots. American patriots and heroes are born only in the shadows of great leaders.

How did Kerry put it? Something like, "how do you ask a man to be the last man to die in the wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time?" If you don't understand how important leadership is to warriors, then you don't understand war at all. Kerry just isn't a war leader. That's the real point behind the Swiftboat Veterans. He's the wrong man at the wrong place at the wrong time. He wants to pretend like terrorism is a nuisance, and that Germany and France should deal with it. We can't avoid terrorism that way, but my own belief, if Kerry is elected, is that my kids should avoid the draft, by going to Canada, if need be. What goes around comes around. Kerry shit on the US military every time he had the chance, they simply will not be there for him. Maybe you can serve.
