- Andy, I believe that the above statement was made in an effort to continue
- the dialogue and may or may not reflect how you really feel.
-
- Allow me to point out that the military in GodBlessTheUSA is under the
- control of (gasp!) civilians. That's right, non-uniformed nobs. Beginning
- with the Commander-in-Chief (the prez) extending through the various
- secretaries (forgive my spelling) of the services. I don't believe you hit
- a uniform until the joint chief (what a concept) of staff. In other words, the
- military does what the civilians say they should do, at least in terms of
- overall policy, certainly not day to day killing, raping and maiming, we
- leave those decisions to the generals.
