I always here that bit about "fighting for our country", yet as I remember, everyone was fighting for their buddies and the only team that was going to provide a way out of there!

My reaction is the same as yours - consider, however, that this might well reflect the attitude of many active and retired members who will
remember this in the event Dean were the RAT presidential contender.
