Larry Scalf br> Arlington, Texas /p> p> Why the surprise that the people of NYC are ingrates. That is par for the course. As one deployed for OEF and OIF and wants victory (as do most of our troops) I think it is always beneficial for an armchair commando to get a dose of reality. Hopefully, Tucker will avoid the hotel bars where the usual suspects of the media do the majority of their work. br> -- Michael Tomlinson br> Jacksonville, North Carolina /p> p> To paraphrase Rick from the movie Casablanca to the mousey Ugarte character in the bar scene with the stolen letters of transit; "You're right, Mr. Tucker, I am more impressed with you." More so by the fact that you will embed with the 82nd Airborne and walk the walk than by your favorable analysis of Rudy, with which I concur. As to the clueless ness of Manhattan liberals, it was the famous movie critic, Pauline Kael, who in 1972, was shocked to discover that Nixon had defeated McGovern in a monumental landslide, simply because all of her "la di da" friends and the editors of the New York Times were voting for McGovern. And so it is with these folks; cloistered and smug, but never in doubt, no matter the issue, Iraq or man made global warming. But next time a loudmouth liberal decides to plant himself at your table uninvited, may I suggest you do a John Wayne rather than a Rick Blaine. God speed and safe journey. br> -- A.
