True enough, skywalker, and no offense was meant by my Post. I just browsed through the sites myself trying to get an idea of their validity.

As I said, the first site "appeared" to be nothing more than a bashing page. It contradicted itself by using the term "Desertion" to describe the alleged AWOL incident - even though it provided links to the military's definition of these two, separate terms. I got the feeling that Bush could invent a cure for AIDS and this site would be blasting him for his corporate ties to the pharmaceutical companies. Just my opinion. No more or less valid than yours.

Kaltia, while I'm sure it won't change your fathers' mind, you might remind him that the island WAS bought and paid for by English settlers. They just got a really good bargain.
