Something like the time you raced to the top of the hotel and just fired off shots. So government waste was back then and it goes on today.
[Now, them shots off the roof was because I happened to arrive back from leave in HongKong :hyper: on Tet eve and, having just finished my nightly 'Bier 33' swigging :drool:, I forgot it was Tet and thought the compound was under sapper attach, so, naturally, I grabbed my 'grease gun' and started shooting. :biggrin1:]
Unlike some johnny come latelys complaining I can count every President since Kennedy as being an idiot and a wasteful spender. Heck numb nuts Bush Sr started the whole Gulf crap if anyone wants to get serious about having a discussion.
[No arguement on the succession of Presidential idiots. Daddy Bush's Gulf War I was totally unnecessay and a waste of the taxpayer's money. Then, as now, Iran was the No.1 enemy in the mideast, and Saddam was the only barrier to stopping them.]
