From McLatchy (formerly Knight Ridder as referenced by the Anniston Star in carrying the piece) Joe Galloway pens The disgraceful treatment of our veterans where he lays into "the politicians who start every speech by thanking the troops and veterans and blessing them" and then "turn up at military bases and the annual conventions of veteran's organizations and use troops and veterans as a backdrop for their photo-ops." He closes with "The next smarmy politician who shouts, 'God bless our troops' ought to be tarred and feathered and ridden out of Washington on a rail for sheer hypocrisy." Well put Sir! Peace ... or War!Nearly 50 years in east Alabama, a surname going back to Vikings invading Scotland, and finally too much religious fundamentalism coupled to reactionary radicalism motivates me. I'll share (rarely as of late) my ideas on politics, learning, ... My clan supposedly uses "Peace ... or War!" Maybe those genes compel me to join issue? (Propservralism = PRogressivism + pOPulism + conSERVatism + libeRAL + pragmatISM) Respectfully, John Gunn
