I was in Afghanistan in November 2004, watching the election results with a large group of troops who were thrilled with the re-election of President George Bush. The thought of a "President Kerry" was a nauseating concept to most everyone over there, especially the officers (oh, who happened to have a college education, as well as a number of the enlisted....)
