<< Should Gov. Bush win in November he should bring
forward and promote soldiers and civilians who understand
military essentials and the absolute necessity of readiness and

the order of the day: >>
Promotions in the military fall to the best of the mediocre. Sad but
truthful. The guys with real talent wash as captains, because there is
nothing that strikes more terror in the heart of a guy bucking for colonel
than the arrival of a captain with great potential. This same attitude kept
guys like Bull Simon from becoming a general. Congress tried innumerable
times to make him a general, but the generals wouldn't allow it. Maybe
that's what kept "Captain" Eddie Rickenbacker a captain. After all that was
Air Force captain not Navy. Come into the war a hero, and watch what we do
to you. Nobody has ever been able to tell me why Eddie wasn't ever promoted.
I imagine it was the will of all the generals. And that was during WWII
when we had a normal number of generals. Now we have so many they outnumber
the privates. The enormous number of generals makes keeping them housed and
happy a really expensive proposition. Then they all think they're important,
so they all want aides and lots of reports. Then they all play golf, and
it's necessary to keep the greens properly and schedule TDYs at the proper
time to take advantage of mixing work and pleasure. You know, an inspection
trip just at the time when something special is going to be going on near the
point of inspection.
Congress takes and wastes the biggest hunk of the military budget, sending it
to their friends in Industry. Let's have another stealth bomber that can't
fly in the rain. Oh yes, an if there's any need to defend the Bush family
oil contracts, let's declare war and get rid of our outdated ammo--especially
the stuff with the depleted uranium. Tell me more about how Clinton has
neglected the military. Prudy
