[geeks] Special skills draft?

[Michael Horton]

the di did NOT say that all assassinated presidents were killed by
ex-marines.

the di did use the following two (2) examples...

(1) lee harvey oswald: shot jfkennedy in dallas, tx
(2) whitman shot people from the ut tower in austin, tx

maybe the problem is ex-marines in texas!

Are we sure that is what the D.I. said in the movie? I'm not so sure
that is exactly what was said, but suspect it might be close enough that
it "sounds right". _______________________________________________
