saburos Very happy to answer question
Saburos,I tell ya thanks for a reasoned and responsible answer I do respect it and good luck.
I didnt vote for bush because of military experance,but for character and guts. I am 50/50 on his domestic policies,but he stood tall when so many tried to tear him down before election.
When he was asked whom he admired most in history he said Jesus Christ, now I dont care if you are a holy roller or god hater he knew the lambbasting he would get from all sides of the elite for saying his truth and stuck by it.
Also when the dems. tore him apart saying he was stupid and such yet I knew he had been a fighter pilot,no he wasnt stupid.
When they said ah he went into the guard so he wouldnt have to go to the nam in such a demeaning way and yet defended clinton lying to stay out of service,it wasnt hard for me to see which side had at the time more charecter.Yes I know about gore..but with his changeing opinions with the wind, not to mention the stupid ideas in his book,I realize he did have a god and that god was the enviroment, and that scared me.
Many good and brave men have said when you strap on a jet fighter you have a 35percent higher chance of dieing even in peace time.He could have been a cook.
Fired on, no he doesnt but he has been president during the time of war and I believe any right thinking man in that position feels every bullet fired as did fdr,lincoln,clinton etc.the question is how they reack.
He knows what it is like as president to watch 2 buildings come down killing thousands and 1 building hit killing many.No just like F.D.R. and pearl harbour,Lincoln and gettysburg,he knows and no one in the united states but him has that expearance.
Take life in combat.
No he doesnt not one on one. but he knows the pain of having to make the decision to take much life to protect America,and stand by that decision when so many lie and twist and try to tear America down includinf so many Americans.There was debate before the war, our troops are in harms way ,the time for debate is over untill they come home than do what u want.
I believe there is only one point you should be concerned with,what do those in harms way think of him ,his leadership,his character. A very huge amount of the military trust his leadership,short of nukes he gives all the weapons we have,he doesnt ask how many dead,take the city no give it back no go take it no give it back. to a point he lets the military do there job, I PROMISE KERRY WONT.
Talk to the troops ,talk to my son, give them the person they trust because like it or not they are there. Dont amke them go thru what our generation did with johnson because a vote for kerry is the same as a vote for johnson then.
sorry about the lenth.
