Reminds me of Clinton having the Joint Chiefs show up in BDUs and march on the front lawn of the Whitehouse. - ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Graduating midshipmen of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis were told in writing to leave at home or in their vehicles all "ceremonial swords" and anything else "that might be considered a weapon or a threat by screeners" for last Friday's outdoor commencement ceremonies featuring an address by Mr. Barack Obama. "Inside the Beltway" (Washington Times) obtained the academy's list of prohibited items for this year's graduation exercises, which, besides ceremonial swords, includes umbrellas. The graduating class has never worn swords during the graduation exercise; but, the fact that the White House made a point of forbidding it is an insult to the entire U.S. military. Prior the "The One" swords were required for O-4 and above at the commencement ceremony; this year not even flag officers were allowed to wear their swords.
