85. There are none so blind...
as those who will not see. This man is an American treasure. He embodies the best of America. You need to work past your prejudice. What is wrong with wanting to serve, protect and defend America and what it is supposed to stand for??

"You will determine whether rage or reason guides the United States in the struggle to come. You will choose whether we are known for revenge or compassion. You will choose whether we, too, will kill in the name of God, or whether in His name, we can find a higher civilization and a better means of settling our differences." - Wes Clark (Seton Hall Graduation Speech, May 13, 2002)
