If you like McCain, I wouldn't be bringing up Grant. While Grant,
himself, might have been clean, there was considerable corruption in his
administration, oh, and allegations of anti-semitism.
I think he's just comparing candidate to candidate, especially looking
ast Harry's overly bogus post on McCain's "unacomplishments. "

"got himself shot down and taken prisoner?"
Harry, is that really how you think?

If so, then Icepick is right.
this DOES sound desperite for the DNC.
Tim, the man has often called me stupid for getting drafted. Yes, that's
how he thinks. Noble of him, yes?
If you are stupid for being drafted, I wonder what he thinks about
someone who volunteers to dig ditches for the Marines?

If it was built by the Marine Corps, it will be the best damn ditch
ever dug.

Followed closely by Squid Seabees - gotta give 'em that. :)

I personally am very glad that people volunteered and were willing to
serve their country (either by draft or enlisting) during
some very difficult times. I have never said anything negative about
anyone in served in the military.

As far as the Marine ditch, I don't think they actually dug the ditch I
think they just planted some C4 and called it a day.
