SteveZ:

I think I've said it before in TOTV, but it bears repeating: The idiots in Washington are so inept in their understanding of the military as to be dangerous.

That doesn't say that military folks turned politicians are necessarily "better!" It takes a true military person (i.e., Eisenhower) to oversee the military as Commander-in-Chief. Non-participating Reservists (i.e., GWB) have, in my view, virtually no qualifications for the job!

'Nough said!
