Popeye, off topic. But okay. Honorable service, whether for the cops
or the military, should be honored, and is. The few who sink into the
slime of murder and rape should be punished, and are--if some honorable
someone who happened to be accompanying the scumbags squeals about it to
the Press.

It's like with truckers: let one trucker run a 4-wheeler off the road,
and suddenly all truckers are roadhogs. Soldiers are human, like
everyone else. In every population subgroup, there'll be a few who
should have been aborted. Some truckers shouldn't be permitted to sit
behind a driver's seat; some soldiers should not be permitted to carry
an unloaded BB gun.

My daughter has left the Navy, but her new husband left this morning for
another tour of the Middle East. My daughter was one of the honorable
ones: when she received orders to report to Guantanamo and become a
prison guard, she opted out of her reenlistment.

"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is...I think it's also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn."
