It started the very week Don Dugan died, when I went to a big military dinner and a four-star general says to me, without knowing the facts and did not even know his name, Well, I hear he was way out in front of his troops and he was not doing what was right. I looked at this four-star and I said, we are not developing a story here so that Clinton bears no blame for sending these people to Bosnia. I said, you better be careful here, general. To have a widow, through the Army Times, have to beg people, Mother of his four children, not to portray him in a bad light. She said, ``He was not careless. He was caring. He was a loving and devoted husband, father and military leader. My husband made the ultimate sacrifice. He gave his life to save others.'' She talks about the cards and letters she had received from his friends who I told you called him McGyver. Since when does a widow have to beg, do not think ill of my husband who had told his men the day before, the week before and that morning, we are here to save these children in Bosnia from blowing themselves to bits by these mines?
