It beats civil war

And that is just about the only good thing I can say about this election. Well, I am also very proud of us that we we've been doing this for so long. The most powerful man in the country is watching his successor being chosen, and he knows his days in office are comming to an end. Even if he wanted to stay on, no soldier would pick up arms to keep him in office. Even though the military is about to get a Commander-in-Chief who doesn't understand them, doesn't appreciate them, and will probably abuse them, they will accept him. There isn't even a question about it. At least, I can be thankful for that.
