Herring is used to reading Tuuk's kinda stuff...he was a "career" guy in
the military.


And you think that's a bad thing?

Oh, I think Herring and the military establishment were well-suited.

I have nothing but the upmost respect for military personnel.

I have great respect for some individual soldiers, and I feel compassion
for those who are forced to leave their families to go fight Bush's war.

I believe soldiers who see action deserve better pay and benefits, while
they serve in a war zone, I believe they deserve first-class medical
treatment when they are injured in training or in battle, and I believe
their families deserve more than $12,000 when they are KIA. I therefore
hold soldiers in higher regard than the POTUS. Smoke that.

But, I have very little respect for the "military establishment," and
believe its main purpose is to perpetuate itself.

Our enemy's perpetuate the military and its establishment.
