Yup, Rummy, 2 years is a minimum.

And Cheryl - my wife has continually suggested that 
Bush would have a different view of things if his 
daughters were in harm's way.  I'm not sure about 
that, but she's biased -- her first husband, now 
deceased, was a Marine awarded the Congressional
Medal of Honor for his service on Iwo Jima, and she 
decided that she could put up with another Marine 
when she married me.

Happy birthday to the other leathernecks out there.

Semper Fi!
