I disagree profoundly with Kerry on several issues that are important to
me, so I'll be voting against him.

Actually, the worst thing to happen to DC since the British burned it in the
War of 1812 is the ramming of a commercial airplane into the pentagon. The
problem with many people who don't like Bush is that they seem to forget
what we are up against.

They don't _forget_, they make the mistake of thinking we should
_negotiate_ with 'em. Of course, the people who are intent on killing
us see that as a sign of weakness, as evidenced by the Clinton non-actions
in this regard. But, they'll not notice that it didn't work and caused
more problems, will they.

1000 deaths in the military including traffic
accidents? That's GREAT! It is unbelieveable how low that number is. I'd
have to look it up, but I think the military loses something like 350 every
year in peace time just due to accidents. So take maybe 500 off that 1000.
For those who don't think we should have lost any, you are really just
saying that we shouldn't be fighting at all. Look at past wars and we lose
far more than that in one battle.

It's not like anyone was drafted into today's army, and it's not like
one volunteers to join the army without knowing what they may be getting
into, considering the options, and deciding to do the noble thing and join.
