You don't like the folks I like. That is your perogative.
As far as I am concerned, Ollie North is a good guy in my book and a far better person than many of those Senators who looked down on him. He's put his butt on the line.
Are you one of those folks who got upset about the methods Los Pepes used against Pablo Escobar?

Singlaub actually procured arms for the contras. And did it without enmeshing President Reagan in a major scandal. North delivered very few weapons to the contras, and succeeded mostly in making himself a celebrity. As I recall Singlaub was OSS, and put his butt on the line in ways that Ollie never did.

Thanks, but uther than Grover, and now Ollie, I have no idea who you like ,a and vice versa, and more to the point, I don't care.
This , all of it, is about facts, at least for me and a good number of people on this site. In this case it is about playing fast and loose with the facts.
Re Ollie, He put his "butt" on some lines, he also stepped over some, and hit a few tripwires that seriously crippled our Administration needlessly (and pretty much permanently). Not unlike Grover.
It is about facts, not personalities. Can you mature to that?
