Something else nobody notices and that is they don't tout their title to get personal bennies. Laura Bush went to Yosemite with friends back in the early 90s and she put her name on a waiting list. We know what Theresa Kerry or Hillary Clinton would have done in that same situation!
If anyone can truly say that on September 11, 2001 they really thought that we would go five years without another major attack on the USA, they would have been committed.
