I think General Allen (Ha--I knew that guy way back when) is being used to ID the hating, destructive people who just can't keep their fucking mouths shut--hopefully they'll be shown the door and maybe some of the people who WANT to be in the hall, who have to wander the concourse and watch on tv, will be allowed in!

That's what I figured. It's too bad there are those on the left (or at least among the Bernie or Bust folks) who view the military as all bad. I'm as liberal as anyone but have family members who served in the military.
