Basically I was "1st trumpet" in the post band. This failed fly-boy has no grasp of how debilitated our armed forces are after the tragic malfeasance of the Bush regime.He cares not a whit for the nuanced understanding of our weakened position in world affairs As bad as W and Cheney have been, McCain is letting us know that when the phony tough Bushies are replaced by this crazy brave crew the world will be significantly more frightening place.Robert Livingston, Jr., L/CPL - USMC - 1970/71 - MCSC, Albany, GA (Hdqrs Co., Band Marine Corps Supply Center or MCSC) Camp Lejeune, NC (Infantry Training Regiment, H or Hotel Company, Camp Geiger) Parris Island, SC (First Battalion, Platoon 101) - MOS 5541 (trumpet, band) - bugler, played military events, funerals, parades, and other official USMC functions - saw no action in Vietnam (met Jimmy Carter once before he became President though in Moultrie, GA in 1970, August I think). McCain is giving us all a preview of the dark days to which he wants to return. McCain sees his presidency as the opportunity he has craved to prove out his theory that he knows how to win wars. It is clear that the conclusion he drew is to deploy military force without regard to political considerations or geo-political realities. When McCain returned from Vietnam, he threw himself into studying that war to see what went wrong. Now with contention for oil and other essential raw materials rising and the emergence of wealthy, well-armed nations unwilling to be cowed by us, the election of a belligerent, chip-on-the shoulder hot head is incredibly dangerous. This mentality would be dangerous at any time. This guy is determined to have a showdown with every one he sees as a rival to US supremacy.
The swagger McCain is displaying on Georgia is no put-on. Sad to say it is an accurate description of the faux John Wayne we have endured in W's 8 year reign and the real war monger we will have in McCain, should he prevail. Gordon Liddy was used to explain how Nixon ended up in disgrace. This apt description of the confluence of macho wimps like Bob Haldeman and the certifiable loony G.
