Look for the Good (01/26/2001)
The old gag meter is redlining - again. The reason for that is the negative bovine scatology continually heaped onto the Army. The problem is, it's not liberal politicians who are doing the heaping - it's us soldiers active and retired who appear unable to find any good in anything. It's a lesson we are teaching to our replacements - and some have learned it quite well - that we may regret teaching someday.
