Believe in a strong military that supports the country, the Army and the soldiers. Joined the Army in the Carter era, saw Reagan make it a real force, and lived with it as Clintoon tore it down. I have real hope for GW. Want relief from taxes, get the surplus out of DC where they'll spend it, and back the the tax payers. And get the Government out of our toilets (1.6 gallons is inadequate), that is unless we can really flush the Government weennies.

Was called up for 911, given the vacation tour overseas to include Afghanistan. God Bless our VETS!!!!!! As the saying goes, if you enjoy your freedom, thank a Vet. Finished my 4th (and hopefully last) tour in the sandbox, luckily as a contractor.

And I've come to believe one of Rush's most profound statements, "Successful people are those that have failed, picked themselves up, and tried again." Or as I tell my kid when he thinks I'm stopping him from making it, "Don't let some SOB stand in your way, succeed despite them."

During operations in Afghanistan, the SEALS found a dog and called him JDAMS. USA Today did a writeup about the dog. While over there I had had the opportunity to meet and play with JDAMS. Also had JDAMS on my Freedom Bird, C-5, headed back to the US of A.
