So Now the POW/MIA Flag Is Under Fire — as a Symbol of ‘Racist Hate’
« on: August 12, 2015, 10:39:17 AM »
If I actually run into one of these retards I hope I have the strength to not beat them senseless, not that this tard  doesn't need to be beaten senseless.

Oh and here's the smarmy POS's FB, that fake smile is just begging to be wiped of his face.

Another day, another argument that a flag must come down. Today’s target is a bit surprising — the POW/MIA flag that flies from government buildings, honoring the hundreds of Americans still missing and unaccounted for in Vietnam. Writing in the pages of Newsweek, a very angry Rick Perlstein is simply not having it, declaring, “That damned flag: It’s a shroud. It smothers the complexity, the reality, of what really happened in Vietnam.” In fact, he claims the entire emphasis on American missing and POW’s was nothing but a political trick designed to detract from alleged American deceptions and war crimes:

Pathetic.  Quickly looked at Facebook earlier, & saw some references to that crapola.

Just for argument's sake, let's stipulate every whacked-out JFK-LBJ-RMN conspiracy theory. How does that make the fate of those MIAs and the decades of uncertainty of their families & friends any less tragic? That dude would be an insult to freaking morons if he were said to be one!

I hope Newsweek doesn't think this will bring in more revenue.

'Mr'. (I use the term VERY loosely here) Pearlstein and Newspeak (the magazine of Orwell lovers everywhere) Have the right to publish their 'article'... But we have the right to rebutt it, as well.

'Mr.' (allegedly) Pearlstein,

Your article never addressed who the people were that the POW/MIA flag represents... The POW's from that confict... and EVERY conflict that America as a nation has ever been in. The POW/MIA flag now represents FAR more than just the Vietnam Conflict, we still have over 83,116 personnel missing in action since WWII, Here is the official site:
http://www.dpaa.mil/OurMissing/PastConflicts.aspx

But you didn't bother to mention that in your article, did you. Nope, all you cared about evil America and Vietnam. Not even thinking that maybe... Just maybe... if it weren't for some of those POW/MIA's from WWII fighting against the Nazis (probably some folks you secretly admire, based off your writings about how 'evil' America is), you would never have been born, because your parents would have been sent to a place with a gate like this:

 


So you can save your pompous, sanctimonious crap for the leftist twits like you. The rest of America wouldn't care if you were ran over by a formation of patriot guard riders.... who were all flying the POW/MIA flag..

It's only embarrassing to John Kerry, the sorry S.O.B. that destroyed records of Vietnam POW/MIA.....and one article I read years ago stated that it was so his brother in law could get richer by building a resort in Vietnam.

Rob Field Rick wasn't mocking anybody with that piece. He was documenting how those veterans were used by cynical men for their own political ends. Documenting, as in showing you the evidence and letting you see for yourself how the wool was pulled over your eyes. He may have used the wrong word, but that does nothing to change the facts.
