The politicians here are just a dumb and controversial here as anywhere
else in the world, never really seeming to perform what the public
wants, and always influenced
by personal agendas....just like everywhere else.

...my father fought because
he was to protect his family, not because he supported Hitler's quest
for power. Troops dont necessarily agree on the politicians point of
view.

So I celebrate memorial day out of respect for these fine boys and all
the others before them, because you have to support the soldiers, even
if not the politicians, because the soldiers are our children,
brothers, sisters, neices and nephews, fathers and grand
fathers.....they are our family....on every side of the globe, and they
have choosen to serve their family and country regardless of whether
they agree or not about the politics.

How can we argue about this?

Thank you, Ray, for the injection of sanity and shared respect into a
series of pointless OT rants.

If travel broadens, there's clearly a crying need for more cross country
flying by some members of r.a.s.
