Tell those families that "The Coward", who sent their children and husbands to their death, wouldn't go himself. Yea, I would think it ok if any of my three sons died while he was protesting in England. You must like Hanoi Jane too.

John, just what is it you did 'in the Army'? You sound suspiciously 'full-of-shit' to me with your talk about burying "friends and subordinates". Anyone who wouldn't be incensed at such a lack of honor by the CIC probably never had any use for it on his own behalf. I have to question your sincerity on both issues.

I realize most Army officers normally spend 1 year in a line command and since Vietnam was 30 yr.s ago I'm wondering where all these 'bodies' come from? Let me guess, you were in charge of relieving the SF-ers in Mogadishu? Captain-of-the-Guard in Lebanon? Maybe you just F-ed up really bad in Panama. Oh, but you don't question a CIC who constantly lies, "loathes" the military and uses it indiscriminately for political distraction? My 'Bullshit Detector' is off the scale.

It's amazing to see how much Clinton et. al sponge off the military. I'm quite skeptical of Clinton's military involvement given the glaring ironies so I hope you'll appreciate my skepticism towards your claims as well John. By comparison I have to consider that in the Clinton Camp Larry Lawerence was eulogized as a 'WWII hero' and a "decorated combat veteran" for his service in the (civilian) Merchant Marine during the war. Hence his burial, and subsequent removal, from Arlington National Cemetery. But he was a faithful supporter and campaign contributor. Now I've heard of 'living above ones means' but it appears Mr. Lawerence preferred at least some of his perks posthumously. If not it certainly takes the military officers' code of 'deferred gratification' to a new level. What do you expect to receive from Clinton in exchange for your support? I would recommend cash up-front, with witnesses and an audiotape recording. Route all travel away from Arkansas and DC and avoid reporters at all costs. An unattractive wife would be an added safety feature.

It has not gone unnoticed to myself and others that the last time a "me generation" gained control over a few nations the world suffered bitterly as the result. If you care to give up your freedom then you have every right to join a cult but don't expect others to allow their government to be forsaken for the self-serving aspirations of others.

No matter what a leader professes to be sympathetic to there is no reason for him to be allowed to act outside the law. No more of this talk about suffering without honor -I'm sick of it. We've had enough of that BS from the man who wrote My Struggle (German edition). Fascism by any other name remains just what it is, tyranny by popular demand.
