10/03/2004: "First Command and the Air Force Brass"

This makes me not want to support George Bush. It talks about a private investment company, First Command, that sells low quality investment vehicles to Air Force personnel. That's ok, buyer beware. It refers to an Air Force investigation into "possible unethical or overly aggressive" sales practices. That's ok, the government is trying to assure that buyers have the chance to beware. And it refers to interlocking directorates and influence peddling at the highest echelons.

And that is not ok. IMO, corruption that reaches that high with that much exposure can be blamed on the commander in chief. I hope the president does something about it. Because we don't have a reasonable alternative to him.
