| I find it interesting that KC_muffin and Texkan haven't touched this post.
Must be to touchy a subject.
AOO I don't think you and I get along to well sometimes. One thing we do agree on is that as you dubbed her "Hildebeast" is going to be massively detrimental to our country.
I'm a pretty firm believer that hard work warrents rewards. Its sad when I see a new applicant come in to the hotel and he/she needs another application just to fill in their previous job list, and they are younger than me.
But Army, its sad to say that in this country it is hard to get by. It shouldn't be but there are levels of corporate greed out there that even the most cynical person could admire. Enron or WorldCom, ring any bells. Oil Company and a Communications Company. Two of the most important facets of American society. If we deal with these kinds of people in charge of the companies with whom we have so much need for, then what position are we putting ourselves in?
You speak to defend you beliefs and thats admirable. But you are blinded by partisanship. The current administration is a failure. As was Carter's. In fact they have quite a bit in common. Low approval ratings and abyssmal failures in the Middle East. (its not the troops is the war planners.) Wow, would have never thought a Democrat and a Republican would have so much in common.
I don't believe the Iraq war was justified. They were just a letter off in the name for the right country to go into. Our soldiers are wasting their time fighting a losing battle over a scroggy patch of dirt known as Iraq when they could be productively using their time fighting a winning battle over a scroggy piece fo dirt in Iran.
