Re: Fred and America's wars [Mark Steyn]
Well, I dunno, Michael, but I like my presidential rhetoric to be a bit more like this:
All of these men were part of a roll call of honor with names that spoke of a pride as bright as the colors they bore: the Royal Winnipeg Rifles, Poland’s 24th Lancers, the Royal Scots Fusiliers, the Screaming Eagles, the Yeomen of England’s armored divisions, the forces of Free France, the Coast Guard’s “Matchbox Fleet” and you, the American Rangers.
That's President Reagan addressing "the boys of Pointe du Hoc" at Normandy in 1984. I know everyone wants Fred to be the new Ron, but I miss the old one's generosity of spirit.
