David Walter: IF... for even one second, YOU believe, that the higher ranks of our armed services have only been filled with those "most merited" then you, sir, are an idiot!
PERIOD!
Our armed services have long since fallen victim to the scourge of "affirmative action"!
That is a fact and for you to deny same, is, again, idiocy of the first order.
By the way thank you for your service.
Sheesh.
Hold into the wind
