Too bad our forefathers didn't have the magical opportunity to include the requirement for anyone running for an office that would include the possibilty of sending men off to war, that they must serve in the military on the front lines assisting in hospitals where they experienced caring for the wounded, the dying, preparing the dead for burial, then met with families to pass along their family member didn't survive, they had been killed.
I believe you get what I mean.

A promising Christmas present for many of us.
The review does not bring up falsification of intelligence by state department nor military.
Vietnam is a prime example. Three weeks before his assassination in 1968 LTC Armand Reiser was serving as attaché to NATO and deputy chief of intelligence for Eastern Europe.
He served in ~1958-1959 as air attaché for SE Asia. He reported directly to the President, the Joint Chiefs, and the Air Force Chief, but without satellites, ibis highly classified reports passed through Hawaii where an army brigadier read all ‘significant’ intelligence wrt the army. He was immediately contacted by the BG and told to revise his report.
Reiser had reported that in the past year the assassination of nurses, doctors, and teachers in the countryside had increased from 600 to over 6,000 and that there were less than 6,000 total left alive.
The BG ordered to resubmit and write that it was highly successful and that the assassination had been more than 90% reduced, with fewer than 60.
He refused. He was warned. And then, currently the youngest major in the Air Force, third on the promotion lest, one of the three most decorated active pilots, graduate of Georgetown University’s five year foreign service program, masters in international business, writing his doctoral thesis in a French literature program, his personnel records ‘disappeared’ for five years, delaying his promotion to LTC. And his report had the falsification.
The same happened in Iraq
