Sounds like you went on quite the campaign tour. Unfortunately, it also sounds like this 'new you' would be giving up on some of your core campaign planks... Namely, Nuking Everything™.
As your Secretary of Defense designate, I must remind you that not Nuking Everything™, would, in addition to being a grave betrayal of the trust of those who would vote for and support you, result in other countries and people continuing to exist. We cannot allow this to happen.
While you still have my vote, I would urge you to reconsider this 'new leaf'
Your blatant belligerence is what distinguishes you from pacifists, and internationalists.
Keith (NOT BACK)
One always dies too soon-- or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are-- your life, and nothing else. - Garcin, No Exit
