When you talk of people who plan as opposed to the fellows who pull the pin your prejudicial misconceptions jumped right off my screen. Don't confuse planners, as in the current administration's plethora of hero's with those of other nations.A quick check of the history books should indicate the difference quite accurately. It seems many of the "saber rattlers" on our turf missed their chance of making "gallant" sacrifices when young. I was going to include a short list for your perusal but when I remembered "Newt the Scoot" Gingrich I started foaming at the mouth....Help, I've fallen and I can't get up...gimme a freaking stress pill.
