29. +1 Harvard and Ethics or lack thereof?
Seems to be a common denominator in the halls of power today...being Harvard educated and lack needed ethics. Wall St is overflowing with them, and they may have yet sunk the world economy with their greed and self interest because it ain't over.

The primary key to success in America is pedigree and money and Harvard education. We now have a full fledged caste system like it or not. As George Carlin says, they have a club and you ain't in it. They look out for their own. The problem is most Americans can't fathom what it costs, let alone have the connections for admission to Harvard.

Have a daddy rich enough to send you to Harvard, get an MBA or law degree and then jump on the choo choo train to power with wired connections. This is just what we don't need another Harvard educated elitist who has the ethics of a snake.

He is lying through his teeth. In 1970 you needed connections to get into any NG or reserve unit and that's where Harvard comes in. We need more in Congress and government that represent all of America and that graduated from state universities, not just cronies of the elite with their Ivy League background. I don't like ever increasing what is happening to the USA.

Why would this article have built up a cache of un-recommendations. This dude lied about his service and got caught, what's to unrec about that?
