But neither of the two onetime naval aviators was anchored in ideology, veering between moderation and conservatism depending on the political needs of the moment.

Duty, honor and putting the country first are for losers and haters. Winners put self and party first.

Gee if that's the way lower enlisted feel in the Navy and I see that by two PO1s voting this up, i guess I'm glad I decided to join the Army many years ago. Perhaps you should have spoken to other vets about this before posting such rubbish.

CSM Thomas McGarry - Sorry CSM, I was using sarcasm as I often do. PO1s Nagel and Holland have seen me post often enough to recognize it.

PO2 Robert Aitchison - Thanks for the explanation, no harm done and thanks for your service! In the present political climate I'm sorry to say your sarcastic statement may unfortunately hold some truth!

While I did not agree with their politics, I had nothing but respect for both men,, and add in Robert Dole.
