Reese is a terrific columnist.
I can't recall any instance where he's evidenced an disdain for the military. Since I've spent a fair chunk of my life in the service (including ground combat) and regularly read Reese's column I think I'd recall if he had.
As far as the Bush family goes, I think Reese would agree with me that selecting Bush as his VP was Reagan's biggest, most lasting and unforgivable mistake. Had Reagan selected almost anyone else his VP would have gone on to eight more years of conservative leadership in the White House, the Clintons would still be in Arkansas and we wouldn't have witnessed the morphing of the term Rockefeller Republicanism into Compassionate Conservatism.
During the great voting controversy of 2000 where Algore was blocking the military votes, Mr. Reese was on Channel 13 in Tampa suggesting that the military voters had plenty of time to vote and just because the mail was "slow" that no candidate should be penalized by "late arriving" ballots. He directly stated on that program in November of 2000 that he thinks Algore had a right for a special "recount" in those counties and that the military votes were late so shouldn't be counted. Do not trust this individual. He is a socialist in sheep's clothing, anti-gun, and very anti-freedom. But if you want to believe otherwise, I won't stop you from bleeting with the rest of the sheep.
