I have participated on several private listserves and it is truly amazing the amount of veterans whose hatred for Bush has caused them to do their best to undermine the moral at home.
These men were friends of mine, and we used to congregate every Novemeber for Veteran's Day festivities in DC.

Very, very sad to hear........on many levels.
