Excellent observations from Hanson. Mr. Cheney is making the Democrats look like a creepy junior-high-school clique, and they don’t like it a bit!

I'm thinking more of Churchill confronting the various British prime ministers in the '20s and '30s.

Who acted much the same as your description, now that you mention it....

Dick Cheney is like the high school vice principal looking over his desk tasking a set of reprobate teenagers and reading them the riot act. I'm sure that the vice principal does not do well in polls as he plays the heavy in discipline. The student may be defiant in return and call him a jerk that everyone hates but they know they better heed his words for their own good.

I will be first in line to defend him.

You will not be alone in defending Dick Cheney! If the dems try to attack or prosecute Cheney, it will receive a significanly greater response than they suspect, maybe that “line in the sand” issue.

The destructive-to-morale propaganda is being spread as fast as the Obama machine can spread it. Demoralizing military VOLUNTEERS is part of their plan. They want a government control of Everything, and that will include reinstating the Draft. That will renew the 60s meme of military:bad so our country will not have a strong military force if the Obama machine gets their way.

Try to explain that to your friend. Some of us are proud of our volunteer force, but that does not include OBAMA.

Exactly, yet they are still focused on Bush and Cheney, some people are that is. My friend is and I advised him to get over it, Bush is gone. Oh well I love him dearly and pray for his safety every night. This is his third tour and he volunteered!

Nothing to prevent a soldier from quitting the army when his enlistment is up and working for the “KBR” and making a lot of dough, too.

Know someone who did that, and used the money to start his now successful company in Texas.
