marron, this is a powerfully written piece. With your permission, I am going to use the last sentence as my tagline.

The original FR post concerning Patton's Prayer was pulled by the admin due to a problem with the link, apparently, but it was based on this original article by Chaplain O'Neill:

http://www.pattonhq.com/prayer.html

There is another article in the FR archive that is also very good originally posted by Tailgunner Joe:

It's all so familiar; 1974 all over again. This time it's going to be different. No losing heart.
1974? Very much so, in the sense that the Democrats are again trying to remove an honorable incumbent with extreme tendentiousness.

But I prefer to say that the Democrats want 1964 - to elect a president, and a Congress, which would be as politically overwhelming and as feckless and inept as the Johnson Administration. A catastrophe in foreign and domestic policy from which we have been gradually recovering for forty years. That is their objective, but they will please God fall halfway short - squarely in the 1984 Reagan reelection landslide.

What an excellent essay! I am glad I took the time to read it. I think you should condense this and submit it to your largest local paper as an op-ed piece.

I should say that the condensation would be for the purposes of the paper's requirements, not because I think you have wasted words here. This is beautifully written and was a pleasure to read. Thanks again!

MM, thank you for posting the link to this outstanding essay. Marron, I needed very much to read this today, having experienced a fleeting skip in my determination after all the news of the week. Thank you.

They are battles in the Big War. Excellent.

I am very bitter about what some people in my generation did
Please follow the link in my #6. It's long - but Vietnam is a long story. Very impressive and inspiring work by Freeper marron.
Hey, thanks for pointing me to that thread! It was great - I wish everybody in this country would read it.

Yeah. I have it bookmarked, and tend to link it into any thread about the tragedy of Vietnam.
