These are not 'convictions.'

Well, bud, a conviction is --

con·vic·tion   Audio pronunciation of "convictions" ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (kn-vkshn)
n.
  1. Law.
    1. The judgment of a jury or judge that a person is guilty of a crime as charged.
    2. The state of being found or proved guilty: evidence that led to the suspect's conviction.
    1. The act or process of convincing.
    2. The state of being convinced. See Synonyms at certainty.
  2. A fixed or strong belief. See Synonyms at opinion.
And I say they are convictions. Morale has nothing to do with what I say. It has to do with the actions of superiors. Have you served in the military? Did you serve under Nixon? under Ford? under Carter? under Reagan? Can you guess when and why morale dropped under any or all of these Presidents?

Thanks for the definition. What you said doesn't fit it.

And, no.........I didn't serve under any of those Presidents, but I do know why morale dropped under them.

But you are jumping wildly to a conclusion based on a single solitary sensationalistic headline by Drudge, and therefore your negativism is baseless.

In case you want to make another pointless post to OhioWfan, she is not a "bud," she is a she and a mother to a son who spent a year in Iraq and is just now home.
