I sat, as did millions of other
Americans, and watched as
their government underwent
a peaceful transition of power
a couple of weeks past.
At first, I felt a pride and
patriotism as I watched Barack
Obama take his Oath of office.
However, all that pride quickly
vanished as I later watched 21
Marines, in full dress uniform
with rifles; fire a 21-gun salute
to the President. It was then,
in horror, that I realized how
far America 's Military had
deteriorated. Every last one
of them missed.
