With his Ivy League background, Lieutenant Goodwin is unusual in the military these days. Perhaps even more so being the son of well-known liberal parents who strongly opposed the war in Vietnam. But the patriotism that inspired him to enlist after Sept. 11. is typical of young people who signed up then.
Opposed the ware in Vietnam, but wrote speaches for Lydnon Johnson. What hypocrites.
Not really, they broke with Johnson over the war, or maybe just the conduct of the war. Hell, I broke with him over the conduct of the war. Maybe not for the same reasons the Goodwins did though. Johnson was an idiot, a bigger Bubba than Bubba C. Although that notion is an insult to real Bubbas that I've known, including one who retired as a Lt. Col in the USAF, and another who is currently (AFAIK) a Maj. or Lt. Col in the AF Reserve. The latter Bubba has a PhD in Engineering, with a Master's in Meterology and BS in physics, all from Texas Aggie U. His AF job is as a meterologist, usually assigned to an Army unit, but sometimes an AF one.
My real antogonisms are saved for Robert Strange MacNamara, who while an ass, is not an idiotm, and of course the likes of Hanoi Jane.
