My Platoon did their part, there’s no doubt about it. While I appreciate your prayer, that ship sailed on me about three years ago. I did my turn in the barrel, and I’ll always be proud of it, good experiences and bad alike.

Oh, I'm well aware of that individual's opinion of me, and it's probably about as contemptuous as my opinion of it.

Ridge and Bush are undoubtedly more culpable than Rumsfeld, but I highly doubt the head of the Defense Department wasn't in on the implementation of a major security operation. And even if he wasn't, he's an American citizen like the rest of us, so he should have to be subjected to the same nonsense as the rest of us.

Thanks for the thanks.
