Go Navy!

As an Army Veteran this is the first time in my life to cheer Navy - but I have no choice.

This has nothing to do with Academy football or any other inter-service competition. It has to do with something far more important. It has to do with honor, integrity, and honesty.

Unlike his Army peers, Admiral Fallon, CENTCOM Commander, did not wait for retirement and pension approval to speak his mind. He voiced his opinion and encouraged others not to engage in wordplay such as threatening 'World War III' if Iran doesn't comply with U.S. wishes or demands - such as Georgie Bush did. He also encouraged diplomatic processes rather than threats and ultimatums. Wow. Now this is a Commander - a real Commander - not a suck up, brown nosing butt kisser.

So, again I say, 'Go Navy!' And a well deserved salute to the Admiral is thrown in as well.

Our armed services need more men like the Admiral. He truly is a man of valor. And God knows we could use more men of valor.
