So, while you are certainly entitled to your opinion, please try to remember that it is only YOUR opinion and as much as you may wish it, you cannot make it a universal truth....

I agree, it seems easy for both sides to make a broad statement and claim it as fact. I have close friends that are in the military who support Bush 100% and fear a man like Kerry leading them. I also am dating a woman who's family is military and sides more on the anti bush side (but he is democrat.) It works both ways.
