Richard;

Are you serious?  I mean you weren't being facetious
or anything 'cause I'd sure hate to flame at you for
a joke!  I haven't heard that kind of rhetoric since
the last time I visited my father's father and he's
in his 80's!  He's the kind of patriot that supports
any military action the US gets into but has never
seen WAR!  I don't know if you're likely to serve or
not but it sure puts a different complexion on things
when your life is the one Mr. Reagan is talking about!

I don't give a DAMN how bad he feels if our guys get shot!
I don't care how STRONG he is or what HARD decisions
he makes.  I want an INTELLIGENT president capable of
WISE decisions.

Of course I recognize that there are times when lives ae
required to be laid down in defense of freedom and human
dignity.  I just want to be very VERY sure that before 
my husband or father or daughter dies they did it for 
a just and honorable cause not for Mr. Reagan's political
aspirations!

Sorry, for the flame, but you hit a nerve!!
