p> LOSING BIG br> Re: Jed Babbin's November Losers : /p> p>Many thanks to Jed Babbin for being among the very few prognosticators to touch on a particularly gruesome effect of a Bush loss in November. I believe the single most consequential catastrophe of a Kerry presidency would be the meltdown of morale in the armed services, wherein the Military Times has reported an overwhelming (74%) preference for Bush. (A generation ago, during Vietnam, I was in the military myself long enough to guess now what kind of time-serving paper-pushers would prefer Kerry.) It is beyond me why this point has been left to a few hundred Swift Boat witnesses and otherwise buried in concerned commentary on the prospect of Kerry as President. We're at war, remember? br> -- John R. Dunlap br> San Jose, California /p> p> Thanks, Mr. Babbin. I too think a President Kerry would be a disaster for America but I had not considered the effect on Israel. Thanks also for mentioning CBS News loss of prestige. I am one of those boycotting CBS because of the 60 Minutes use of fraudulent documents. I wrote CBS that I was giving up their Sunday afternoon NFL games until Rather resigned or was fired. The CBS stonewall continues unabated. Now I am resigned to missing the whole Houston Texans season this year. At least the game is available on radio. Could you count the radio business as a winner if Kerry becomes president? br> --
