The United States Military is an elitist, patriarchal, hierarchical organization and had been since the time of George Washington. So why is everybody so shocked by this ward 72 business?? This is old news. Officer's Clubs serve fine, twenty-year-old Scotch in crystal glasses with embroidered linen napkins. In an NCO club or a soldier's bar, you're lucky if your beer is served cold.

His comments in Columbia, South Carolina yesterday about the Confederate Battle Flag flying on the Statehouse grounds were remarkably inept and short-sighted:
