I don't need to agree with any politician to feel patriotic.

Another post, another lie. I never said that I am personal friends with any of the generals who I have met and I'm not. I have been in audiences of two or three hundred people to listen to at least a half dozen of them speak at award ceremonies and retirements. Other than that, I have worked fairly closely on a project for one general, who was still a Colonel at the time.

I have had enough contact with officers to know that this country is not electing its best and brightest to serve in the White House. Our military builds leaders from the ground up. Most characters like Trump, Hillary, and Bernie are weeded out of our military pretty fast. It is a shame that our military has to work under draft dodgers and people who despise them.

Oh you don't need to further convince me that your opinions and feelings are not necessarily associated with any kind of corroboration. That seems pretty clear to me. RIUTG did not lie but seriously, you really should stop holding back, it's not good for you, LOL. His remarks were totally acceptable, especially considering how often you have made disparaging comments about others you deem guilty of name dropping.

However, it might save everyone on here some time if you could compile a comprehensive list of the snakes and idiots that pass as experts in the various fields. :biggrin:

But I agree, a lot of the problem with holders of high office is attributable to their having not served in the armed services.
