Maybe I got home too late to watch Colin's gloriousness on TV on the 6 o'clock news, or that may have been the period when I just did not watch TV. In any case, I never got that positive vibe that so many people got from General Powell. Soon he was writing best sellers and was the talk of the town. To me, he was no different than any other general.
It could be that I was bitter and disrespectful of anything associated with the Reagan and Bush administrations. I did not even want to give them credit for winning a war. I had quit the Navy and quit singing the national anthem when Reagan became president.
