"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

It's okay for them now - the man has been long dead and no longer threatens their anti-war "ideals".

First sensible thing I've seen from HuffPo. ::USA::

Might be the last too, who knows?  But at least they got one right.

I watched a show a week or two ago, sorry, forget what it was called or what station...but it was about finding the missing pilots from the Korean War.  Time is really ticking for that generation, and there have long been rumors and bits of info about some of the odd 30 or so never accounted for being shipped off to Russia.  Anyway, there are family members still fighting to find out what happened to their fathers and husbands.  I thought there was one where they identified some dna from the crash site, but the Nork's grow hot & cold on allowing teams in their territory.

And now with the Vietnam generation growing older the clock begins to move faster for those relatives too.

I hope more can get the closure they need while there is time remaining.
