How worried were you when Clinton was President. He aborhed the U Smilitary before he became the commander of all the armed forces. Did youdisparged him at any time?Maybe you should take one of those cruises out of Boston during the"left wing" convention--a very long one!

A former active army NCO here who was drafted in 1972, just after graduatingfrom college.
I finished basic training in March 1973, just before the last of our troopswere pulled out of Vietnam. Among my duty assignments were with the 24th,82nd and the TOPO command in West Germany.
I think I've an earned right tojudge the president's military record, or lack thereof.President's Clinton management of the military seemed to be good enough to establish the best military in the history of the world and was well used-orabused-by president Bush. More to the point and has been well documented,Bush is close to destroying the Army I served for so long.
I suggest you visit Army Times to see what the troops are saying. As we used to say in the NCO club, if you've got a free stake, it's easy toplay.
Bush has never, ever put himself on the line, and that is the simpletruth. And while I'll miss the "left wing' convention, in Boston, I mighttry to make the "right wing" one in New York. My uniform still fits very well.
