President Bush's stellar role as CinC cannot be overstated. His troops would step in front of a bullet for him. They respected and loved him, as he did them.
That important fact cannot be overstated.
You’re welcome. Thank you for your posts. I’ve only now reviewed the many other posts. Clearly, there are FReepers making the point to balance the positives against these flaws of his record. On balance, I think history will be kinder (if not gentler) than the knee-jerk reactions occurring here whenever the Bush name appears. Do folks not recognize how they sound exactly like 0bama, Axelrod, Emmanuel, Carville ... when they do this?
