Once More a Nation Divided
- By David H. Hackworth, DefenseWatch Senior Military Columnist
The Vietnam War rages on. Witness the barrages being fired by Viet vets on the right and the left: “George W. Bush is a draft-dodger”; “John F. Kerry isn’t a war hero.” Once again, that tragic war divides America – and this time around it’s vet pitted against vet. Sure, Bush dodged the draft, along with a reported 14 million other Americans with the savvy to work out that Vietnam was a no-win, sorry war. But although he had the luck and the connections to land a spot in the Air Guard, he did put his butt on the line flying a machine for which he was entitled to hazardous-duty pay – and that's because zooming around in a jet fighter was and still is highly dangerous. And sure, Kerry’s campaign push on how he Ramboed his way through the war – for four months – rubs a lot of vets the wrong way." http://www.hackworth.com/

1. I love Hackworth - always have

Read the NYT Review for "About Face" while on a train in Europe wishing to read everything in Print in English except USA today. It was my first NYT book review, and my first book I pre-ordered before publication....

I also learned a hard lesson - don't read the NYT book reviews - you'll go broke buying the books they recommend.....

2. Love Hack, too

I have to stay off Amazon.com I've bought every anti-bush and political book published since 2000. Right now I have 6 on pre-order. Due out between September and October.

I figure not only am I learning - this is part of my legacy to my grands so they don't grow up naive like Gram. :silly:
