Well said.

In addition to the reduction in Air Defense assets, how many more of our nations defenses have been stood down since we 'won' the Cold War?

The average American will never know, partly because they don't care and partly because the purveyors of 'truth' in our society have been woefully silent in this regard.

It makes the job that much more difficult for those who are still serving. Thank you for carrying the torch forward, Brother.

444 days and dead Americans that tried their best to rescue the hostages.


Carter singlehandedly legitimized terrorism as we know it today by shaking hands with Arafat.

Thanks Very Much, HiJinx!!!!

After ALL the BUSHBASHING this week, I've had had enough and I'm not taking it anymore!!!!

I figured it's time to let the light shine on some of those who have trashed the President(get some of their skeletons out of the closet - so to speak).

I will let this Torch now shine brightly!!!!

Thanks HiJinx,

Those years were BAD for Michigan. We lost all of our Active Duty bases and lost Air Defense at Selfridge. It was pretty ugly. Things have improved significantly since then. We have regained the Air Defense mission and are playing roles in other theaters as well.

Thank you for your service and for posting this important info.

Rush and Sean, I'm pinging you to this thread!!!!

[Liberty Valance]

Most excellent first post. I salute you. I've never read about these things before and add a lot to the whole 9/11 story. Thank you for your service and please post more often. :o)

"Since 09/11/01, President Bush has restored the importance of Our Nation's Air Defense. ALL of those 26 sites have been returned to duty with added importance. Thank You, President Bush!!!!"


Well that can't be right?! Kerry is calling for changes based on the commission's findings RIGHT AWAY! That means Bush hasn't done anything.

If this UNKNOWN fact of the base reopenings gets out to the media - Kerry will claim that Bush should have waited to see what the commissions findings were.

THANK YOU President Bush. And thanks to Bush for setting up the Department of Homeland Security. (But Kerry says we need to act on the 9/11 commission's suggestion that all terrorist intelligence be guided by one main director!?!? I thought that was what Ridge was doing - I must be a bit wrong in my perception).

Of course, if Bush does create and "intelligence czar" it will reak of brown shirts and KGB to the democrats.

Welcome and nice first post. If it were up to Kerry we wouldn't have a lot of the equipment that our military currently uses. Somehow the press keeps missing that.
