Lieutenant Colonel, retired Lieutenant Colonel Dan.
Lucky you that that Pinehurst golf courses are your backyards.
And he goes, hey, I really enjoyed your take on how we mismanaged the end of history after the fall of the Soviet Union.
Made me wonder how might things have played out differently if Bush 41 had won a second term with the administration's strong national security team and less political pressure to cash in the peace dividend.

I think it's Clemson-Penn State.
It'd be better if it were
game one of the year and my recalibrated schedule of making all the bowl games happen actually as as preseason game one of the following season um you know that's an interesting what if on george hw bush um i think you're right i think it would have been a very foreign policy heavy second term
