“Lucky for us she wasn’t popping it.”

BS, we have had more than our share of complete failures. I guess you are just not much in the history department.

Actually I don’t, please fill us in with all of your military knowledge about the officer corps. I could stand to gain insight and perhaps help my career along given I am such an idiot.

No one called you an idiot, and you can read for your self. But how many generals did Lincoln replace??

But the history degree is questionable. LOL

Barbara Boxer doesn’t mind being called Cutie by Barack. Check out the youtube that I put together.
