Clinton's Last Hurrah

I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as our
government underwent a peaceful transition of power. I was proud
as Mr. Bush took his oath of office.


I was sad as I watched Mr. Clinton board Air Force One for the
final time. It may surprise you that this made me sad, but
watching this part of the days festivities, I saw 21 U.S.
Marines, in full dress, with rifles, fire a 21 gun salute to the
outgoing President.


It was then that I realized how far America's military had
deteriorated.


Every last one of them missed.
