...I dunno if he got preferential treatment or not. I always liked GW and he seemed to be a good choice after the Clintonista's left office. I don't have much use for the folks who just ran and cursed those of us who didn't run. Jane Fonda and John Kerry are two I would feel no sympathy for if they were sentenced to a prison facility comparable to The Hanoi Hilton.
...I said something the other day about Carter giving away the Panama Canal. He let the draft dodgers come home too. Unlike the story of the prodigal son, I would have forgiven them but not let them come home. I've heard quite enough about their sacrifice and how they did it all for the soldiers sailors airmen and Marines who did go. When ya make a choice ya pay for it.
...ah well, Vietnam has been over a long time and like the American civil war there will be hard feelings enough to go around for awhile to come. (at least long enough for micro to remember that the civil war isn't over and they didn't win and by the way, Yankees can't play football. They more the non grits eating soccer type.
Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
