As a current combat vet of both Iraq and Afghanistan and met vets of both Iwo Jima and Okinawa less then 5 years ago ( I also live over looking Pearl Harbor), yes, they haven't forgotten and so won't I. To those vets, the memory is like yesterday. You have to walk a mile in their shoes (are you worthy), to fully understand but I get it and do understand. War is hell and sometimes it takes one who has fought one to understand. I do it for you, I do it for my family, I do it for all of us.

Actually yes. Japan still hasen't appologized for the Rape of Naking and many horrors it committed across Asia (I travel across Asia quite frequently and they haven't forgotten either). American Vets (remember those guys) still alive haven't forgiven them yet and still remember. True, Japan is a good ally now and it should be, but it RECENT sins have not been atoned for and thus no President should bow.
That is where Dan took the hit with me. We as people have very few things to present to the public but our integrity. Dan lost his when he let Torie take the hit. Granted, she did not lead (and that was the bigger sin in which she paid the price) but Dan lacked loyalty and character. These in the long term make us human and give us responsibility. Design. I get that. but the others elements are so much more important.
I get you man. Out side our first DS David, this guy is the only original personality. Quaility without boring or PC. Good on ya HGTV!
Dan was talented, I'll give you all that. So was Tony. The thing that sticks out about Tony was leadership, passion, and integrity. By these measures, he had the best of Dan the entire show, especially on the last point. That is what makes Tony the NDS!
