I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as the US
government underwent a peaceful transition of power this past month. At
first, I felt a pride and patriotism as I watched Barack Obama take his
oath of office.
However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched George W.
Bush board Air Force One for one last time. I saw 21 Marines, in full dress
uniform with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the outgoing president. It
was then that I realized how far America's military had deteriorated
under Bush.
Every last one of them missed.
