I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as our government
underwent a peaceful transition of power a number of years ago January.
At first I felt a swell of pride and patriotism as I watched George W Bush
take his oath of office.
However, all that pride vanished as I watched William Jefferson Clinton
board Air Force One for the final time.
I saw 21 U.S. Marines in full dress, with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the
outgoing president. It was then that I realized how far America's military
had deteriorated.
Every last one of them missed.
