No, that detail isn't on the evening news, I'm afraid

Another example of responding before finishing a thread....It's not on the evening news, but that won't change. The press could never report that detail pejoratively. Aside from a few FNC employees, there aren't enough reporters with military experience to understand its significance.

Yes, I agree with your democratic faithful comment. This morning, after winding down a few days of slots with my dad, uncle, and granddad, my father (a retired USAF full bird) told me that he will vote for Kerry simply as a vote against Bush. I had neither the will nor the inclination to question him on that subject.

I hope it's not indicative of veteran sentiments.

Including myself, there are five freepers on this thread who've been here since 1998. Holy cow! You folks make me feel like a newb, all over again :)

Interesting.

I've been out of the Nat'l Guard for nearly 20 years, and don't keep up with any of the old friends, I'm afriad. I don't know any military ppl personally any more.
