Status: offline 		Heard on the news that Randy "Duke" Cunningham, the Vietnam Navy Ace, and who the movie "Top Gun" was loosely based on, plead guilty to taking over $2 million in bribes from Defense contractors, while serving as a Congressman to ?California?. I'd read about his exploits, seen him on "Legends of Airpower", and thought he really had what it took.

Well, looks like another Jedi Warrior got seduced by the Dark Side. Too damn bad.

That's politics, not money (can you separate the two?)

You don't want to go there. It just breeds hostility and resentment between people.

There are lots of political forums on the net.

Status: offline 		RCpilet is correct. Here is the RCU Rules of Posting covering this issue.

quote:

We do not permit political, social, religious, or other off-topic discussions. There are many places online to express your opinions on issues outside of RC so "RC" Universe is designed to be a place to talk just about RC.


While this "just barely" politically oriented, I can see this discussion getting out of hand in a hurry. Therefore I'm going to close this thread down.
