"In 150 different accidents, incidents, explosions, and impacts since WWII, EVERY destroyer-sized ship - after being hit by just ONE weapon - has been lost immediately her weapons system, her propulsion, or her communications. Or all three. And, without the ability to fight, flee, or fire, that ship is gone in a real war."

Thank you for pointing that out. God help any sailor nowadays who has nowhere to hide, run, retreat,...and only to sent to the darkest depths of the ocean.

I have the upmost admiration for ground-pounders and their heroic efforts. But in this high-tech era, once the battle starts on the seas, it will be apocalypcic. We're talking massacre, depending on who shoots first.

Still, at this time our ground pounders are taking the brunt in Iraq and Afganistan...and God love and keep them.

COL. CAMPENNI;-- I STRONGLY URGE You to forward your Letter to the "W" Campaign!!

There is SO MUCH "CRAP" "Out There" about the 'Guard!'

CLEARLY, "W" not only "Did His Duty," but he RISKED HIS LIFE for us.

It's ABOUT TIME that the "Voters" were Apprised of his Unselfish Risk to keep us Safe.

Somehow, the 'Dems have relegated Mr Bush's Military Service to the "Paper-Pushing" level.

America Needs to Know that "W" "Put His Life 'On the Line'" in his time "In the 'Guard!!'"

Your Information is NOT "Trivial!"

Doc

I was never shot at, but all the deaths I saw in the CORPS were all at sea.
