so you quote Sydney Schanberg? a reporter for the New York Slimes and view his word as being the gospel? Schanberg won a pulitzer and he worked for the NY slimes for years. He was a correspondent but read about the other great military men that KNOW and endorse McCain. Including Bud Day and in my opinion...Day is among the best.
