Almost seven years agoAmericans sat, as did millions of others, and watched astheir government underwent a peaceful transition of power.

At first,they felt a swell of pride and patriotism asthey watched George W. Bush take his oath of office. However, all that pride quickly vanished asthey later watched the
Clintonsboard Air Force One for the last time.


Theysaw 21 Marines, in full dress uniform with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the outgoing President and first lady.

It was then thatthey realized how farAmerica's military had deteriorated under theClinton administration.

Every last one of them missed.
