I will never forget that member of congress from somewhere in Europe that told a military official (in Clinton Admin.)"at least Adm. Bourda had the decency to commit suicide!"

This Petraeus stuff is going that direction - down!

Turns out that Adm. Borda was correct in that he could wear a Combat Medal with V since his ship was engaged in direct action against the No. Vietnamese.

I forget who the Congressmen was who persecuted him, but I recall Col. Hackworth harassed him to death. Turns out that Hackworth, a highly decorated combat veteran, was a bit nuts himself, and people believed him.

The media failed Borda and it cost him his life.

What a bunch of shits we have in this country.
