Umm, yeah. That is pretty much exactly what the Navy was trying to say.

Yes. When it's clear you have no basis for your conclusion it's best to
simply give up before making a greater fool of yourself.

Doug,

That saying is from a Plummer to his helper, Goes " All you need to know
is, **** runs downhill, pay day's Friday."

Used it many,many times getting Mechanics to do things the way I wanted
it done.

Dave,

Procedures aren't always wrong. More often than not they provide a
conclusion made with truth an honesty.

Thirty years is a very long time to let a HERO have his glory and then
say he lied.

I believe Kerry was a hero and G.W. Bush was a draft dogger with help in
high places.

I think Kerry was a hero with a tendency to exaggerate his own heroism. As
to Bush, my recollection of the times leads me to agree that he probably had
some help from politicos in getting into the Guard. However, I reserve the
term "draft dodger" for those like Clinton who dishonestly avoided entirely
any risk of being placed in harm's way in the service of their country.


Well, there you have it folks... Here's the choice. Kerry a war hero
who might or might not have exaggerated his actions or Bush, someone
who got into the Guard because he had powerful friends and who failed
to show up as ordered for his physical. Leave it to Dave to bring
Clinton back into the discussion to obfuscate Dave's willingness to
pick a spoiled brat fratboy who didn't do as ordered over a decorated
war hero.
