It is galling to hear the news readers referring to Marines as ``soldiers.''

Well, for starters most News readers share an IQ. Almost without exception none have ever served a day in the military. Dan Blather claims to be a Marine but failed to make it thru basic at PI (medical discharge, I believe). Charlie Gibson, GMA host at ABC, and sometime News reader served in the Coast Guard reserve. They are the only exceptions that come to mind. The rest of the liberal News reader crowd, who all voted for Clinton, except Peter Jennings who couldn't because he's a Canadian, feel the same way about the military as Clinton ... they abhor it.

Nonhacker Rather was discharged as medically unfit on 11 May 1954 and did not graduate from recruit training. A fact which begs the question how was he medically fit to serve in the Army Reserves while a student during the Korean War? You weren't hiding from the draft were you, Dan boy? I've never seen anything definitive on where he was sent for recruit training, but since he was from Texas it's more than likely he was in San Diego. There have been a few from west of the Mississippi who went to Phantasy Island, but not many. That puke is a liar about many things and claiming to be a former Marine will earn him a major a** kicking if he ever makes the mistake of being in my presence.
