I kind of figured you meant in the leadership roles. And are we worthy of them? Heck, we probably weren't worthy of them back in WW II! ;) Hard to imagine, but just like now, folks (like Charles Lindberg!) were saying we should try to be friends with the Germans, etc., at least before Pearl Harbor. (Although I can't imagine it was as bad as now.)

Hopefully by the time they are a bit older and experienced to lead they will still be in the military and/or move into politics. Although I imagine the disillusion they will have after 4 years of Obama won't be good.

Plus, four years of Obama appointed military leaders...

"Plus, four years of Obama appointed military leaders..."

Roger that! I remember how Speaker Jim Wright made me long for Tip O'Neil (don't get me started on our present one). I fear that BO staffing policies are capable of making us long for the likes of Wesley Clark (revolting as that thought is).
