"How is it that someone who wore the uniform of this great nation and stood on freedom’s ramparts against the enemies of liberty, communists and socialists, now embraces one of their fundamental tenets?"

<blockquote>But maybe Col. West also missed Powell’s real point, which is that, having worn The Uniform, Powell knows exactly how effective really good government-run health care can be.</blockquote>
