Now that you mention it .. i do wonder how this chap would have spent the pay out for the so called oversight .. I understand lawyers would take a fair chunk of it or was it legal aide? I, too, want our soldiers to be safe and sound at home doing better things like teaching schools for the underprivileged kids or just plain old homeland security. What a touchy subject, there mate. We all have lots to say but it is a wee bit touchy to say the least. I feel sorry for the women and children in the MidEast who are under oppression in the name of their beliefs. The faiths need to see eye to eye over there and over here. Will MacKay go talk peace eye to eye with the insurgency? I could do it, I suppose if I had a political science degree. My neighbour is mastering in anthropology and can't even see eye to eye with me .. send her over there to straighten them out on atheism and she is a bit of a Commie to boot. She says that pay out was justified. Of course, she would. Radicals are sure silly. I rather we spend all the war and pay-outs spend on NASA, there is water on the moon, i hear, take your beliefs over there .. lol.
