that you had any connection to the Navy or military, was only returning your thank-you on the basis of "service" being Lib good will. But your military connection doubles what I meant. - Honestly, I don't know personal specifics about where 90% of DUers are coming from aside from our generic Democratic agenda.

About the CLINTONs - and it's bygone known I was/am a big supporter - first of all, their big intro into political activity was door-to-door canvassing for McGOVERN and they were integral with the anti-Vietnam protesters, correct? And, I don't swallow wingnut propaganda but also weigh and decide about what might be constructive criticism (a Lib trait, to look inward for root causes and room for improvement), and they were placed in the anti-military umbrella of protests that conflated anti-Vietnam with anti-military that you were originally talking about. And while I believe the wingnuts have made hay with anything anti-CLINTONs, it is credible to me that HRC has shown bad/hostile treatment to military in contact with her. I can't cite the proof.
