Ash what James Stewart would have done, he was a true hero. He also had a son (stepson - he would call him a son) die in combat in Vietnam. Some are talkers like Wayne, and some go do it. We need those who will get the job done, and not talk about it.
Stewart's stepson Ronald, a Marine, was killed in June 1969 in Vietnam. Stewart was devastated, and as anyone who knows that time period, very aware of the stigma which the nation had attached to those who served in that war. Shortly after his stepson's death, Stewart and John Wayne stepped out of a building close to the Berkley campus only to find themselves on the outskirts of a massive anti-war demonstration. In the middle of this unwashed, unruly throng a Viet Cong flag proudly waved. Stewart saw it, and so did John Wayne; then, according to Jimmy Stewart, Wayne did a remarkable thing. He turned to Stewart and told him he'd "be right back". Wayne then disappeared into the gyrating mass. Stewart related that even though he couldn't see Wayne, he could tell EXACTLY where Wayne was in the crowd from the silence that evidently followed his path - and it lead straight to the Viet Cong flag. A big hand reached up, PULLED down the flag, then disappeared yet again, this time leaving silence spreading behind it - and when John Wayne appeared, he was carrying the balled-up Viet Cong flag in his hands...
"Duke tried to enlist but was rejected because of an old football injury to his shoulder, his age (34), and his status as a married father of four. He flew to Washington to plead that he be allowed to join the Navy but was turned down. So he poured himself into the war effort by making inspirational war films-among them 'The Fighting Seabees', 'Back to Bataan' and 'They Were Expendable.' To those back home and others around the world he became a symbol of the determined American fighting man."
WWJWD? The same thing that RR would do. Two like-minded American patriots.
Yes he was, and pretty well SACemcized too, so he'd probably be of the "Nuke 'em til they glow and then shoot 'em in the dark" school of thought. And it may come to that. Certainly the possibility has got some "leaders" like Arafat, and the Pakistanis making "nice" noises, and to some extent got even the Taliban whining, no matter that they are in the terrorism business up to their hairlines. They must think "W" might have learned a few lessons from an earlier President, the one who his father served for 8 years as VP. :) Never know what a Texas "Cowboy" might do, especially when you kill a personal friend of that President, who is also the wife of a sub Cabinent level officer of his administation, who also happens to be the guy who argued the case before the Supreme Court that resulted in said President becoming President. Yippie Ki Yay!
