Re: Bad News and Count Me In

Quin and CJ: I agree. Things look pretty bleak, and are likely to only get worse as the year goes on.  Especially when you consider the accelerating Iran crisis and many other issues neither the president nor Congress wants to face. But that’s precisely the incentive we need. Look at it this way: as a rather formidable gentleman named Lewis B. Puller once said, “We’re surrounded. That simplifies the problem.” (I know, I know. That’s also attributed to Gen. Smith, but I’d rather believe Chesty said it.)
