I can't help but wonder how many good men and women either left the military or had careers ruined because of PC.

Had I been serving when Bill Clinton was elected, I would have retired that day! As it was, I retired on Oct. 1, 1991.

HST, I have volunteered for recall six times since 9-11. But, for some reason, the Navy has not figured out that old age and treachery trump youth and enthusiasm every time! I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm better once than I ever was!

I may be a really old man before they figure that one out! Maybe I ought to try to get an interview with SECDEF -- he's older than I am and is one hellofa SECDEF!

LOL!

That may be an unknowable. There was a hellofa purge, post Tailhook, in all the services, thanks, in equal parts, to der Slichmeister and wimpy leadership at the Flag/General Officer level.

Thank God that Owlbore did not win in 2000! Can you even begin to imagine the mess we'd be in today?

BTW, a lot of guys who got out between 1993 and 2000 have gone back in since "W" became President. Did you know that?

For some strange reason, respect seems to breed respect!
