Yes....and hopefully many will become U.S. Marines,
"You will adapt,improvise.....overcome"
the rest....might need straight jackets.
Nothing can be done about the Hair.

When you bash Rudy Giuliani for leaving his "wife" remember to include that she was first and foremost a self-centered "actress" playing a part in The Vagina Monologues.In my view Rudy Giuliani is the one candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton; the others lack the a) name-recognition; b) spine to withstand the Saul Alinsky destruction; c) ability to think on one's feet in debate; d) proven ability to handle a big executive responsibility in a large-scale terror attack (eight million residents during September 11).
Rudy's fiscal credentials have been noted by columnists from George Will to Human Events. He cut taxes in New York and made a surplus where vast debt existed courtesy of Dinkens. He cut the murder rate from 2100 to 600 with other crime stat improvements proportional. Turned off the welfare spigot and put people to work instead, a prime aim of social conservatism.
I am an NRA member (including the right to bear six fundraising solicitations a week) and I understand what Rudy did in New York was to cut crime. I think he gets that you don't come to Iowa and tell Wal-Mart they can't sell ammo, etc.
Rudy has the fiscal conservatism and the strength on national security which were the hallmarks of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. Both these conservative icons stressed national security and government respect for taxpayer dollars.
Goldwater in his later years endorsed gay rights per the National Review article by William F. Buckley. Reagan began as a pro-choice Democrat and evolved on the issue of abortion.
I see Rudy evolving on abortion as well, and where it really matters (judges) he publicly says he would name the constructionalists such as Roberts, Alito and Scalia.
A win by Hillary-Obama will put a Communist and a Muslim in the White House, and will remove America from the war on Islamofascist terror. In which case we infidels will be the victims.
We win the White House, we win the battle against Islamofascism, we get more judges like Roberts, Alito and Scalia and all of that is a strong step for everything worth fighting for.
I am too much a realist--having gone door-to-door for Goldwater--to risk the unthinkable damage a Hillary Clinton victory would cause.
Newt Gingrich's Contract With America had nothing about guns, gays or abortion--and yet it was a platform for a tremendous victory against Clintonian Communism in 1994.
I appreciate Duncan Hunter's coming to Santa Fe in 2000 to speak on behalf of our former-minister Senate candidate Bill Redmond, but we don't have four years and a billion dollars to carry a single-digit candidate to the White House.
Much the same is true of Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo, and others.
Perhaps as you say, as a vice-presidential candidate a conservative could be an asset towards victory.
A team effort will be needed to get everything done--and it begins with the top-of-the-ticket victory--which must be an electoral, not a moral, one.
