20. Thanks for McArthur's speech
This is exactly what I mean

"Yours is the profession of arms, the will to win, the sure knowledge that in war there is no substitute for victory, that if you lose, the Nation will be destroyed, that the very obsession of your public service must be duty, honor, country. "

If this is what I think this is, and this is a real war, we may have a Soldier following the Code of the Army, at great personal sacrifice.

Reality is we will never know, if this is the case... because if I am reading this right, the level of sacrifice may include jail.

It just struck me while reading many a story today and reading editorials. I have had the feeling that there is a civil war inside
the Government for some time. Some editorials today actually used that phraseology, and it really started bothering me when watching Buchanan and Press.

There is more to this than meets the eye, very much more than just meets the eyes.

Now troops we need to continue our side of the battle as we are fighting to keep this nation free.
