OK, Susan, your point then is that no war was necessary to create or defend this country. We'll just have to agree to disagree on that. Furthermore, I believe that they will be necessary in the future in order for us to maintain even a semblance of a free society. My point about Washington was that, even though he commanded a "volunteer" army, they lost their freedom once in. An Army can be run no other way and be expected to win a war. I'l close with a little motto that was engraved on untold numbers of Zippo lighters: Yea, though I walk through the Valley Of the shadow of Death, I will fear no Evil, For I am the Evilest S.O.B. in the Valley! >
