Hi. I am an active duty commissioned officer in the Marine Corps with 18 yrs service (10 as enlisted). My comments here are my own and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of any organization or group of individuals.

I am conservative despite being a native Californian. I am overjoyed that Bush/Cheny were reelected. President Bush has been an excellent commander in chief because of his principled, consistent and steady leadership. He is a man of conviction and that is the kind of man we need in the White House. This is even more essential in the post-9/11 environment.
