Army Officers Resigning - Add to bush's legacy
Because of the War President's words, deeds and actions:

- The Army can't meet it's recruiting goal
- The Army is retaining alcohol and drug abusers and those who have failed the physical readiness test to maintain manpower levels necessary to meet HIS mission
- The rate of resignations amongst Junior Army Officers is going up
- The rate of divorce amongst Army Officers is going up

And what is his plan? Stay the course

And what is the response from the religiously insane like gary bauer, why its all the liberals fault.

Its gotta suck real bad to have so much pride you can't say you are wrong.

2. Gotta disagree with one point
I really don't think it's pride which renders these asshats incapable of admitting that they're wrong - I'm betting on insecurity <insert teeny weenie / smooth brain comments here>. Most of the secure, smart folks I know readily admit to either being wrong or ignorant about any given subject. It's the dumbasses who tend to tenaciously cling to whatever fallacies they believe.
