It's one thing to disagree on opinions. Here we seem to have a profound
disagreement on the FACTS of the case. Only hard evidence can resolve
those, I guess.

Who, by the way, get far less credit than they deserve. If you'll pardon
the gratuitous flaming, of JDQ and Slick, which one belongs to the party
of Jane Fonda? And, ironically, of LBJ and certain
intellectually-challenged advisers who got us hit deep into the mess
without a clear objective or method of attaining the objective. And which
of our two rival baby-boomers now wants to send American troops, sans
viable battle plan, into former-Yugoslavian guerrilla warfare zones? You
can always tell a Liberal trying to pose as a hawk because he hasn't quite
"gotten it" yet that you don't just send troops to war willy-nilly (Hil'y
Willie?) without a concise plan for victory.

A helluva a lot better than Slick Willies!! If he were a man of such
principle, why didn't he just burn the draft card and be done with it?
We'll both concede that both Danny and Willy ducked 'Nam, and both had
"connections", so to speak. Answer me these: which of the two actually
joined a service? (and if you insist on pooh-poohing the role of the
National Guard, let me start by pointing out as but ONE example the 1975
Stringtown prison riots, in which the Oklahoma National Guard incurred
casualties...) And which of the two was actually DRAFTED? And third, which
of the two is now an election away (much scarier than a heartbeat when one
compares Bush's personal health to his political health) from
Commander-in-Chief?
