- Dick Cheney has earned high marks as the Bush
- administration's embodiment of square-jawed Western rectitude.
- But some in the U.S. military no longer see him that way. Though
- his forthright account of dozens of House-bank overdrafts while
- a Congressman satisfied most political observers, it did not
- wash with citizens of the more stringent military culture.
- Letters in service newspapers have pointed out that the armed
- forces would never have tolerated such behavior. Wrote an
- outraged correspondent in the Army Times: "There have been good
- troops put out of the services with a bad discharge for having
- committed lesser offenses than Cheney did."
