These are things worth writing about
Who was your commander in chief?
"N1EE" wrote in message m... When I was in the Air Force, then President Clinton flew into our base, on more than one occassion. Active duty Air Force troops didn't fight for the opportunity to see him. Mostly civilian workers, looking for an excuse to goof off, and women who liked his looks, went to see him. His visits never sold out, and secretary's were sent around to try and drum up more interest, to fill up the hanger when he spoke. Many, like me, remained at our jobs rather than wasted our time seeing him. It would have been but a short walk to see him and I declined. In fact I was asked if I wanted to see Clinton several times each visit. I said no. The response I got was, "He is your commander in chief, don't you want to see him?" My reply was, "He is not MY commander in chief." Many people in the military felt as I did. During the period I was on active duty, only President Clinton was held in such low regard. Carter, Reagan, Ford, and Bush, were all held in high regard and admired. Only in the case of Clinton were people outspoken against him. Bart Senior "The Carrolls" wrote so you are an air trarric controller? Oh wait, I forgot, they were the only union to endorse Regan, and look what he did to them. You had better preach to your union brothers and sisters if that is the vote you expect. A man with 3 Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star and a Silver star can tell Guard any thing he chooses. |
