    Well said Proud Retired Sailor. I think that we may have a speech writer in the wings.

    Mitchell, we are proud of you. I would also recommend military service, but I recommend it because serving your country is a most noble cause, not because it may give you “credibility”.

    We will be marking our voting ballot for Mitchell next thing we know.

    Mitchell I strongly recommend a tour of military service for your record. It will give you much credibility, on top of the great amount that you have already cultivated.
