Mr. Ezeanyim, maybe you assume Bush should get no votes. That is perfectly fine, but under no circumstance should you again print that service members suffer “indignity” because their commander in chief did not show up for their burial just because that is what you think. Judging by the service and time you donated to the U.S. Armed Forces and your country, it is very hard for me understand how you can possibly know what we think or what we feel about our duty.The only thing that would cause me to “suffer indignity” in a death for my country would be knowing that back home in Aggieland there is writer without respect for soldiers, social tact and a presumption that he knows enough about the job we do to print what and how we feel about politics. The only slap in the face I have received as a serviceman is the one felt by the writer who will spare no group of their dignity and the self-ingratiating, condescending tone that his articles are fashioned with.Generalizations aren’t any way for an adept student of rhetoric to prove a point
