You are telling us that such stunts are important morale boosters, but
don't' expect those of us who have been in the military to belief such
guff. Yes, there are people like you who are impressed by such stunts. No
doubt if Bush had emerged from that plane waving a US flag, your heart
would have swelled with patriotism and you would have had a tear in your
eye.

Fortunately, not everyone in the military is so na‹ve.
