Bob Gates is NO Patriot

You would think a career military man would REALLY know what it meant to put COUNTRY FIRST. No, Bob Gates puts Bob Gate$$$ first.

Being a military man doesn't necessarily indicate quality. Look at McCain and so many others. General Omar Bradley would NOT be amused. My dad used to say there are two kinds of people in this world: those who admire Bradley, and those who liked Patton and MacArthur. That said it all. The latter two would've sparked WWIII if given a chance. Bradley truly loved his men and was all about stopping war ultimately.
