Shucks, any boat I've raced... takes only a couple of afternoons.



Some years ago, by random chance I picked up 'My Father, My Son'
by Elmo
Zumwalt Jr and Sr. It was a riveting book, one of the few I have
read in
my life that I literally could not put down. He gives a very good and
careful account of river combat in Viet Nam.


I'll check it out. Sounds like my kind of book.

I should warn you that Elmo Zumwalt Junior died of cancer due to his
exposure to Agent Orange, which his father ordered sprayed all over the
PBR operating zones. About half the book is about his childhood and his
dying, from the point of view of both men. Back when I was in the Navy,
people made fun of Adm. Zumwalt, but after reading this book I will not.





Now tell us again why you feel compelled to repeat all this slander
propogated by Bush & Cheney Inc?


Is it slander if it's the truth?

Is it? Kerry went to Viet Nam and got shot at. Bush went AWOL (in
between DUIs) and lied about it. Simple fact. Frankly I don't believe
anything either party says, but bear inmind that Bush & Cheney Inc have
at least 5X the advertising budget.




... All I want is a president that will follow thru and
squash
any terrorist group that even sneezes towards the USA. Someone that
will spit in the face of terrorist demands. Not someone that is
whissey wasshey and dont know where the fight is.

Considering what a chicken**** Bush was on Sept 11th, at first not
reacting at all, then running away and hiding, and then lying about it,
I don't see how you think he is going to ever do any of those things. At
least Kerry performed under fire, whatever you may think of his actions
since then.
