Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

seabass - Frankly, what really bothered this ol' military man was having a CINC who stood on foreign soil to protest his own country's involvement in Vietnam, one who wrote such an arrogant, disdainful letter to the 'ol military man' who tried to help him out, once it became evident the luck of the lottery had saved his ass from ever donning a set of fatigues, one who treated military personnel like personal servants, who intentionally and admittedly dodged military service because he was a complete coward, and who didn't even understand the meaning of "is" ...... or "to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God" .... One who never even bothered to try and learn the correct way to return a salute ... THAT was very bothersome to me and I frankly can't understand why there were so many Americans who exhibited such a willingness to accept such conduct, yea, even condone it, and even try to make the bum out to be some kind of hero. Any who did, don't have a leg upon which to stand when criticizing GW.

While we haven't had a real active duty veteran in the Whitehouse for a while now (since Bush I to be exact) I can identify much better with one who at least did something in service of his country, rather than live their entire life at the public trough by never holding a job of any sort outside of government, and who essentially used the power of his office to entice young women .... while so openly campaigning for the elimination of individual constitutional rights of the the people he swore to serve.

Now, you can be as coy, arrogant, patronizing, self-righteous, or whatever, as you want. That's your privilege, or right, to enjoy here in the good ol U S of A. Just as it is mine to support whichever side I wish to support. I prefer however to base my support on something other than a "hate" web site or smear campaign. If you prefer to do so, then that is your privilege.
