Good to hear from you again...Yep, 14 days.<BR/>rainywalker: Thanks for helping me to understand this. You sound like my friends/Vietnam vets. They wouldn't vote for McCain but talk about him and this bond at another level, a level that, frankly, I don't get. But I'm trying. Another thing they have in common is that they are very historical about military matters, both in strategic terms as well as historical terms. I'm working on that too. The other thing is the fascination with Gen. Eisenhower. They can quote him on what he said about the military complex and the folly of war. From the way they speak of him, it's clear he only believed in war as a last resort and that war has become a cottage industry, which is why it is perpetual for our government. But the main thing is the bond they have. Therefore, he would have been against the Iraq war. It could be you sitting around a table at the coffee shop with us on a Sunday morning.<BR/><BR/>October 21, 2008 6:52 PMMac Daddy Tribute Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483912561779369669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-77014793680211653992008-10-21T17:36:00.000-05:002008-10-21T17:36:00.000-05:00daddyBstrong,There may a third thing to consider t...daddyBstrong,<BR/>There may a third thing to consider thinking about here. They are both veterans and so am I. We have a bond that could be considered strange. They did a study back in the 80's that said 90% of all Vietnam veterans could recognize each other on the street. I detest many of the things John McCain did in Vietnam and things he is doing now. You have heard me call him a crazy man. We still have the bond, but I am not his friend. I would give him my last breath, but not as friends. But even veterans who are good friends have an unspoken code. They may want to help a fellow veteran, but see in a sad way that their friend has gone off the deep end. Kerry will not call him on his erratic behavior because he see's a different John McCain than you and I. The dream is being deferred until another time, perhaps when there is only a one sided conversation.rainywalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13445164335609548931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-3699507343526211682008-10-21T14:38:00.000-05:002008-10-21T14:38:00.000-05:00The Old Coot is a douchebag.His choice of running ...The Old Coot is a douchebag.<BR/><BR/>His choice of running mate, McCandy, is a radical, rightwinger who belongs with Mullahs in Afghanistan.<BR/><BR/>In 14 days, we will flush them both down the commode as Barack Obama is elected president-elect!Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788931352232874850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-85249935798255956652008-10-21T14:33:00.000-05:002008-10-21T14:33:00.000-05:00"Have you had a dream of a friendship that explode..."Have you had a dream of a friendship that exploded and exists no more?"<BR/>Many, daddy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
