I grew up in the 60's, Eisenhour, Kennedy, Johnson, then tricky Dick My family was large and they were Democrats, believed in living off what the govt could provide. I went to Nam, so my political views are not etched in stone. I don't believe in hand outs. I don't believe in taxing the wealthy to provide for illegal aliens here. I work just like the next guy and make my own way, independent of my govt. There are far too many that refuse to do it and don't help themselves.
When the planes flew into the world trade center and then DC and the one we lost in PA. I assume Bush had enough and wanted some butts. He got Sadam, he has broken some of Al queda. I support his efforts and those of our soldiers and military, which by the way are all volunteers. I was drafted. Knowing back then what I know know, I would have a problem going to Nam. Some of the movies you see are pretty much accurate about the things US soldiers did there, innocent victims, we go and fight them in the jungle. I'm not making excuses. War is bad no matter where and innocent lives are taken. Because we committed our military to stop terrorism, many more innocent lives have been lost and it will continue. I wish Bush would channel some of his efforts on the economy, the oil situation and things pertinent to us that live in the land of the free. I support our military no matter what. sure it is expensive but I can go to bed each night with my doors unlocked and feel at ease.
