"My best friend was (ordered) invited to be in the crowd. There were few cheers, so few they were like the guy who starts the slow poignant clapping at the wring time, and you just look at him like he's an idiot. The low murmers of "traitor" were much more audible but will not be reported anywhere."

===Wow, thanks for telling us that; it certainly seems right-on to me.===

Thank you, trubluolyguy, for your recent military service - welcome home! And welcome to FR.

Isn't that wonderful?! I guess even in Iraq, our troops have heard of "UNFIT FOR COMMAND." BTW, I wonder how many troops got a chance to read that book and what they think of the Swiftees? Anybody know? Thanks.
