America has been doing pretty much about the same thing since the militia broke at Bladensburg.

Walt

Clinton made the USA a joke...9-11 was the result.

Clinton made the USA a joke...9-11 was the result.

Even on 9-11 the bad guys had to adopt a plan that resulted in their death to succeed. And Bush had been in office 8 months. I'd say your original comment could be construed to belittle the efforts of a whole lot of former military. I am now sure you didn't mean that.

The guy on the right looks like he may be unit commander -- older and well fed.

Yeah, and not Insane like Soddamn Insane - and maybe healthier at this point than the missing Iraqi dictator.

Humbly sent!

There is something so moving about still photographs that video will never capture. The ability to study just one spot in time before it is gone. I love these threads.

Never would I disparage the Armed forces. Just seeing these guys and gals do what they do, it makes me full of pride and thankfulness.

If you are a vet, God bless you.
