78. wow, this is just like the media went after bu$h* and his 'service'........not
   

Yeah you stupid cow, no one *cough ~ Dan Rather ~ cough* ever made issue of Bush's service.  I went over there and read that thread.  To the credit of some DU'ers they are pointing out their hypocrisy but there are some over there that are twisting and turning trying to make it "no big deal".

When my wife was comissioned Gulf War I was still in progress and she got the service ribbon for that one by the sheer fact she enlisted and went through ocs while it was still wrapping up. She laughed when someone asked her one time if she was a veteran of Desert Storm.

I guess if she was a Democrat that would have made her a combat vet.

Um, I didn't get that memo.

"For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything." Eph. 5:23-24. It's a little more than a memo. Doesn't give a man carte blanche to be abusive or not make mutual decisions with their wives but the buck has to stop somewhere. It doesn't mean women can't do anything on their own, either. I run my farm and my husband pretty much leaves me to it unless I ask him for help or advice. I homeschooled and made all educational decisions unless I asked. I'm not mousy or submissive but when a big decision has to be made and we don't agree, I defer to him.

I was in Viet Nam before I wasn't in Viet Nam.....or something like that.

Liberal think gives me a headache.

Yabutt, even before the verbal clarity of the likes of a John F Kerry we had

Shermanesque statement


 "I hereby state, and mean all that I say, that I never have been and never will be a candidate for President; that if nominated by either party, I should peremptorily decline; and even if unanimously elected I should decline to serve."  

These statements are often abbreviated as

"If drafted, I will not run; if nominated, I will not accept; if elected, I will not serve"

And the liberal version  " If drafted I will run, if indicted I will hide in Canada, if convicted I will not serve time so help me Jimmy Carter "

in regards to this richard blumenthal character, its not a question of "in" or "during" about his alleged time in country...

here is one of his quotes:

The Times story said Blumenthal has intimated that he suffered the mistreatment veterans received after returning from Vietnam. At a veterans event in Shelton, for example, he said, "When we returned from Vietnam, I remember the taunts, the verbal and even physical abuse we encountered," according to a 2008 Connecticut Post story.

yep, another lying sack of shit...

Today he clarified, apparently he "unintentionally misspoke".

[sofa king]

ah!  ok...

so its not a lie if you actually did lie, but did so "unintentionally."

got it.

That makes everything better. Like Bacon.

Oh oh my.

The primitives must be "researching" Anne, because a lot of them have been studying this ancient thread.

I always liked this line:
"The man is the head, but the woman is the neck. And she can turn the head any way she wants."

[whiffleball]

I would never claim that I had been in Desert Storm.  I still feel uncomfortable saying I was a Desert Storm-era vet.  That's why I went to NYS DCS and aksed them about it, after they told me that I could do that.

I served, only served, during the time of Operation Urgent Fury.  During my stint that's all that really went on in a large, public way.  I didn't even know that I was considered OUF-era was until I looked into AL membership for someone else.

A few troops were awarded patches they did not deserve for that operation.  Top had to order my buddy to sew his on.  He was mortified because he felt he didn't earn it and there were still all these VN vets on AD with us.  Another troop at brigade got an OUF award and she was at Womack having a baby at the time!

Lying about military is one of the lowest, scummiest things someone can do.  Most times it bites the liar in the ass, but the consequences aren't severe enough for my liking.

Wow.  It was a little startling seeing this pop up this morning. 

[JakeStyle]

Funny, I see some DUmmie just started this thread.  That's the guy that Crockspot exposed as a lifelong democrat and a fraud.



Link to story at FR:  http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/1491289/posts  looks like Crocks original CU post was lost in the crash.

Cripes, I've run into several people that have claimed to be SEALs.
When pressed on the issue, the story changes to "I used to work with SEALs".
If you ever run into one of those, ask what their class number was.
If they claim it was secret, you've got a ringer. (there were no secret classes)
Door gunner in Nam, is another popular claim.
That one is little more difficult to feret out unless you know what you're talking about.

People have a need to be viewed as heroic by others.
Best not to do that in front of those that have been down the road.

[RWKindaGuy]

I am, however barely, classified as a Viet Nam ERA vet, and not being Tom Harkin or some other variation of Democrat liar (Redundant as that may be), it would never occur to me to claim to be a Viet Nam vet, nor ever, EVER use the phrase 'In Viet Nam' in talking about myself.  I've been on active duty and played a supporting role in quite a number of conflicts and their named operations since, but the only one where I was actually in theater and collecting combat pay was OIF, that is the only one for which I actually claim to be a war vet, and that's the way everyone else I know looks at it as well.   

Same here, having served in the Navy during the war, but not setting foot in country.  I never refer to myself as a Vietnam Vet, even though technically, I could.

There's only two people that I "have a need to be viewed as heroic by"--my wife and my daughter.  (Well, maybe not my wife--all of the time.)

There's still a guy who'll tell anyone who'll listen that he was a Golden Knight.  I know him and know that he was a cook assigned to the unit.  AFA GKs, I preferred watching jumps out at the DZs or a guy named Alcee from one of the Groups.

There is something really cool about watching a battalion mass tac.  Kinda scary being in them though.

I miss ol' Crock.

I remember once when I was still at CU, some libtard Feminazi from DU signed on to argue in a B/W of DU thread. She was getting her ass handed to her, of course, and it was only going downhill until he chimed in - "There's still a chance for you to salvage this experience. Show us your breasts."

I don't think she made another post after that.

 

[Airwolf]

Even when I was with the 101st during Grenada and our Battalion was called out and we all had our junk in front of the barracks, can we claim to have been veterans of that little party. We never got so much as out of the area even with the trucks waiting to take us to the airfield.

One thing for sure is we were all ready to go and who knows what might have happened but we were going there to kick someones ass.

crockspot was a classic, both at our old home and here.

I'm sure however he's still laughing at the primitives with us, but from the Eternal Time and Place, not here.

That is why I've never understood the mentality that drives people to embellish accounts of their service. Everyone who takes the oath does so with the knowledge that regardless of their job, they may one day be called on to place themselves in harms way and they stand ready to do so, at least in an all-voluntary military. The fact that one served and served honorably is enough to be worthy of respect. Of course those who were assigned to combat areas or otherwise distinguished themselves are due additional honors, but all have sacrificed something for their country. It was a privilege for me to serve and I expect nothing in return from the average citizen, not even a thank you for that matter. Just don't actively besmirch my service or work against my fellow veterans who are currently facing the fire. Both of those things, however, are specialties of the DUmbasses.

Ya, know what you mean.
Seems as we get older, it just doesn't matter much any more.
Those of us the did it, know it. 
Those that didn't, know it too.
Now days I don't give a crap unless one of them really gets out of line.

Ah yes, the "esteemed" *spit* Jeb Eddy.  It's good to see the little commie turds don't let a little thing like the fact that he's a fraud stand in the way of good propaganda.
