This is an exchange which took place betwen Senator Metzenbaum and Senator John Glenn. I know it‘s American but bear with me. I will condense and give the gist.
Sen M. to Glenn.
How can you run for senate when you‘ve never held a real job?
Sen G to M
I served 23 yrs in the USMC. I served in 2 wars, flew 129 missions and my plane was hit by AAA on 12 different occasions. I was in the space program.
Come with me to a Vets" hospital and tell those men with mangled bodies they never held a job.
Come with me to see the widows and children of White, Grissom and Chaffee. Tell them their hubands and fathers never held a job.
Come with me to Arlington on Memorial Day and look at all those waving flags and tell me those lying in the ground never had jobs.
You should be on your knees every day Howard thanking God that there were SOME MEN who had a dedication to duty and purpose and a love of country that was more important than life itself.
There self sacrifice is what made this country possible.
WE HAVE HELD A JOB HOWARD!
What about YOU?
We also have politicians such as Howie in this country. Saddly our people are not thought of any better by them.
