Interesting article. In the back of my mind, I wonder if we are repeating Vietnam with the disconnect between the military and civilians ?

For my money, the ‘disconnect’ betweem civilians and the military has NEVER fully healed.

Kerry, in his continuing flip-flop between milking his ‘military career’ (such as is was) and bashing the Military, when it suited his political career, did the civilian/military schism NO good.

If you remember, the ‘Swift Boat Vets’ yanked the bandage from THAT wound and America bled anew.

The Military is ONE US institution which tolerates NO wannabe’s and no impostors. They succeed or fail in full public view. Fortunately, OUR Military has continually acquitted itself honorably. That their image is less than golden it due to the ongoing Liberal campaign to foul and defame anything THEY cannot control or invalidate.
