I'd like to take a moment to remind people that MacArthur, Patton, and Eisenhower all took part in the persecution, tear gassing, flat-of-the-sword blading, and burning out of thier tents in Washington the World War 1 Bonus Marchers in Washington DC on July 28, 1932.
Before you canonize either of the three, remember how they treated the WW1 vets. They treated them as criminals and derelicts.
Exactly. It will take a Beslan massacre here to get all the whiners on the side of national defense through a good offense. And the left will STILL try to use that as an anti-defense situation, saying 'if we hadn't fought them there they wouldn't have come here...'
