Valor, Honor, Duty - (What are three things John Kerry knows nothing about?)

From National Review:

A poll in mid-October revealed that Democrats have every bit as much incentive to suppress the military vote. Bush received a response of favorable from 69 percent of military personnel polled, compared with 29 percent for Kerry. The poll also found that 94 percent of the military sample intends to vote in the presidential election.

What was that quote about fear the legion? Oh, yes:

"Make haste to assure us that you at home love and support us as we love and support you; for if we find that we have poured our lives into these desert sands for nothing, beware the fury of the legions." A Roman Centurion writing to his Senator uncle in about 400 AD

Something for both candidates to keep in mind, but I think Bush has much less to fear. Kerry, on the other hand, is on thin ice with the military.
