Hi M, thanks for the kind words. I do my small part, it really a team effort.

This reminds me of a years ago when Clinton won election. I remember well, many people chose to get out simply because they did not want Clinton signing their retirement certificate. Especially, after he focused right away on military homosexual rights. Might seem silly to some, but to principled centered people who really have an aversion to those policies, or to slick talking charlatons, it means a lot. And they do make decision like that all the time.

What the cumulative effect of decisions like that will be if Kerry is elected is anybodies guess, but my sense is the guy is disliked by people in the military even more than Clinton was.

It is probably similar to when you work for a company you love, and a new CEO comes onboard who does not share your values. You can elect to leave the organization, or struggle with the internal conflict and continue working there.

The point is, leaders do matter. And the American people should understand this before casting their vote in a few weeks.
