Dear Todd,
Although I agree with your point I have directed mail from your address to go into  into my "Junk Mail " folder. I do this for every address with a non-Rhodes related message which comes in on the internet. And the same for you others below. Stay off our mailing list place.

  I usually do not get involved in these (political) discussions. 

  No one here is touting George W. Bush's great service record but al least
  he HAS a service record.  Most of the people that blast Wubya's service
  record are the same ones that voted for and defended Bill Clinton.  While
  we are talking about Presidents that are criminals??  Clinton was a felon
  draft dodger until Jimmy Carter pardoned him in 1977.

  What ever happened to changing the subject lines and labels?

    1) That specific line is purely a joke based on the current political
    musings. If you don't get it (no matter how bad it might be) then I
    guess
    the joke is on you.

    2) Please do not tout Bush as some great 'serviceman'. He was a
    silver spoon
    'bubba' that was a war dodger, period. In fact I would hold up Rev
    Wrights 6
    years of Marine service over Bushes questionable Texas Air Guard.
    Hey, he is
    the one that classified the information. If you are so proud why hide
    it.

    3) I am connected to many people that are lefties, righties,
    libertarians
    and just plain crazies. I have yet to meet even one person amongst
    them that
    doubts the sincerity and efforts made by the our armed forces. So
    unless you
    have specifics and not generalizations of 'lefties against the
    troops' , you
    can finally pull that particular pickle out.

    4) Early in the primaries (Feb) the troops themselves number one
    candidate
    per actual monetary donation (not easy on military pay) was Ron Paul,
    who
    never supported Iraq and wants them out immediately. Second was
    Barack
    Obama.

    5) I am extremely proud of our military, but not the Commander in
    Chief. He
    should be held accountable and tried for Crimes against the
    Constitution
    (the document he swore to uphold) and he is already in serious legal
    trouble
    now trying to cover his personal ass. Even many mainstream
    conservatives
    were mind blown that the President gave a tax cut to the wealthy at a
    time
    during wartime (unprecedented in US history) when documented evidence
    of
    lack of troop supplies and equipment existed. Ridiculous.

    6) Finally, many of us (81% and rising) feel the country is on the
    wrong
    track. Nationalistic pride without any reflection on errors, is the
    hallmark of a "true-believer". Time to grow up and realize that
    America can
    and does make mistakes and healthy reflection, criticism and
    correction are
    not only patriotic, but morally necessary.
