GRAPEVINE, Page 21Trouble in the Ranks
By JANICE CASTRO
Dick Cheney has earned high marks as the Bush
administration's embodiment of square-jawed Western rectitude.
But some in the U.S. military no longer see him that way. Though
his forthright account of dozens of House-bank overdrafts while
a Congressman satisfied most political observers, it did not
wash with citizens of the more stringent military culture.
Letters in service newspapers have pointed out that the armed
forces would never have tolerated such behavior. Wrote an
outraged correspondent in the Army Times: "There have been good
troops put out of the services with a bad discharge for having
committed lesser offenses than Cheney did."
