Good to see you Doug, I remember that year very well, too. I had just left CNO's shop and took my first command. The bombing was increasing in intensity -- especially Rolling Thunder in Route Packages 6 and 6 Alfa...and the losses were acute, to say the least. (Connie and Kitty Hawk were very busy)

Even today when I see Clinton's name in print, I sometimes need to go to the bathroom and put my head in the throne. It still affects me to that degree --even after this length of time. His vileness is beyond description by my humble pen.

Cheers, dear friend, and have a delightful year. The drums are beating; and I anticipate we will all have serious work ahead. Thank GOD for George and the First Lady !! DKP

I'm amazed that this is posted after he's already discredited by this. Amazing. Aren't there a lot of bigger bogeymen running around in the US Congress and the world who need to be exposed here -- rather than reruns???

With all due respect, he has NOT been discredited enough. He refuses to retire with dignity. When his name even APPEARS on a potential list of the best POTUS ever, and that receives serious press coverage, he has NOT been discredited enough. When he and the Mrs. take it upon themselves to publicly criticize President Bush and are deemed credible by the press, he has NOT been discredited enough. Doug, keep it out there, please.

Nonsense, with Hillary out there he could be sitting in the White House again.

Thanks for your post... I've been reading some WWII history lately and the things that our soldiers went through at the hands of the Japanese are beyond words... I feel compelled to know about itto honor the sacrifices of those men...

Reader's Digest condensed version: "I am a p***y."

Your's is even more condensed than mine.

"Bill Clinton, the College Years: Europe on 50 Lies a Day."

I will not stop because he won't go away and his wife is ready to pick up where he left off. We still have a battle against these cockroaches from Arkansas. The SOB has been interfering with our foreign policy since he left office.

Thank you. How silly is it when Jimmy Carter seems relatively patriotic by comparison? Xlinton is our Rasputin. Or Svengali. Or Mountebank. Or Philby. Or Barnum. Or Quisling. Pick one and get them out of here.

....he won't go away and his wife is ready to pick up where he left off.

Ohmygawd. A thought guaranteed to produce nightmares.

I went to Vietnam in 1965, along with a battalion of Marines mostly between the ages of 17 and 22....many of their names can be read on Panel 05-E at the Wall."

I visited the wall soon after it opened. There was a squad of volunteer veterans there who helped people locate names on the wall. When I went, it was after dark and a full moon was shining on the black granite - it made the Wall seem even more beautiful and somber and almost overwhelming. The guy that showed me around with his flashlight said to me, "I'm doing this for my buddies. They're up there watching me." God bless them all.

I had never seen that before, and didn't know he was a Bataan survivor. Thanks for digging that up.

But as Mr. Clinton replied on a news conference this evening (Sept. 5) after being asked another particular about his dodging the draft, "Almost everyone concerned with these incidents are dead. I have no more comments to make." Since I may be the only person living who can give a firsthand account of what actually transpired, I am obligated by my love for my country and my sense of duty to divulge what actually happened and make it a matter of record.

I'm writing these comments to let everyone know that I love my country more than I do my own personal security and well-being.

Did these portions jump off the page for anyone else???

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

They did for me. (And a man who'd been to hell and back as he had would surely recognize danger when he saw it.)

[Chad Fairbanks]

I just wish more people had recognized the danger BEFORE it weakened our nation...
