Frank,

On Memorial Day, I was at the house of friends of my wife. Mostly college professor types. We usually do NOT discuss politics because they know that Lyndi and I are very conservative. (I don't usually don't go to these functions. No one there knows what AFR is or cares.)

Anyway, one of the guests was the Command Sargent Major of the ROTC unit. He is a welcomed guest because he is one of them (How he pulls that off I don't know). One of the ultra-lib ladies made the comment that the Command Sargent Major does not like war and teaches a class about how military people don't like war.

So I pipe up and say "That is what I don't get about your anti-war movement for the last 50 years. Why do you always blame the military and especially the fighting men for the war......" Well I discovered that it is OK for the Command Sargent Major to dislike war, but there is no way that I was going to be accepted for that view. I tried to point out that the 108 nuclear warheads that I carried on 16 ICBM's had been a pretty good deterrent and ensured peace for 40 years, but as soon as I said "nuclear weapons" they all attacked me protesting that if we got rid of all the nuclear weapons then we would have peace.

I changed the subject, and we left soon after that.

In light of what is going on in Iran and North Korea today, the world is a scary place with liberals in charge. If the USA does not stand up and take real action against the facist states that are about to aquire nuclear bombs and long range missiles, then we are doomed to be black mailed on a scale that will make the Middle East piracy problem look like a tea party. All the attempts by the liberal/diplomatic/media establishment to "use world pressure" to restrain the rouge nations will fail just like it failed in the late 1930's in Europe. The result was a world war that cost 100's of millions of lives.
