I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as their government under went a peaceful transition of power a few weeks past.At first, I felt a pride and patriotism as I watched Barack Obama take his Oath of office.However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched 21 Marines, in full dress uniform with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the President.It was then that I realized how far America 's Military had deteriorated.Every last one of them missed !
