Retired from USN as senior officer and from business. I served in Vietnam for parts of all five declared Campaigns, none of which I can look back upon with anything resembling pride. Through my recollectioins and reflections, it has become clear that our self-appointed status of "Exceptional" does not equate to a liense for unrestrained, unilateral foreign intervention and meddling. I am a Recovering Republican. I have been clean for 28 elections
