Yeah and he used his family influence to pull some strings and avoided combat in Korea.
*yawn*
Now shall we discuss the outstanding military career of the current chickenhawk in the white house.  :-)
Ohh and by the way you DUmp monkey I served for 6 years so kiss my ass.

8 years, United States Army.

BTW, I'm not sure they want to go down this path. We have more just on this little site than they do on their site with, what, over 100,000 members?  :uhsure:

I'm sure Free Republic is stock full of vets.

I always question which side the DU vets were on.  :-)

It makes sense that more freepers than dummies served. People who served tend to lean to the right.

He served in an Honor Guard unit (read: pogue) in Germany from 51 to 53 because he was tossed out of Harvard for cheating.

bravo foxtrot delta

BTW - your director of DHS says Army vets lean right and are susceptible to joining dissident groups.

Okay, okay, DUmmies--you got me.  I never served in the Army.

I was in the Navy.  I went into boot camp the same rank Fat Teddy at his peak, and outranked him in less than a year.

Suck it, libtard.  Oh, and daddy never pulled any strings to get me into Nuclear Power School.  I got in (and graduated) all on my own effort.

Once again, DUmmies, I'll bite:

How many of you served your ENTIRE enlistment AND received an HONORABLE (reenlistment code RE-1) discharge?  Betcha both the number AND percentage here is far higher than your little circle jerk.

I was thinking more in reference to an Honor Guard Unit being a "pogue" unit.

I never served in the military, but my dad was in Korea, firing 105mm artillery at the N.Korean Army.

Vietnam was over before I was 18, and Desert Storm started when I was 32.  In between, I spent my life running a dairy farm, raising a family, and being a REAL CITIZEN of this country, by voting and being politically active.  

FWIW, I first voted in 1978, for governor of Virginia, our state houses, and local officials.
I have voted every year since then, every single year.  I have not missed a single election, even when I felt there wasn't a damned thing (or person) worth voting for, I voted.

2008 was no exception....

Serving on Honor Guard is--well--honorable as is admin, clerking, supply, cooks, etc. I made a very good friend during my just concluded stint at MOS-T who also wore a tab and I took great pride in his showing me proper flag etiquette.

But it is still pogue.

It's not like somebody was shooting at Fat Teddy while he was conducting honors no matter how much the DUmmies want to froth that his 2 yrs trumps all of our observations.

Never served, but it wasn't for the lack of trying. I got all the way to the physical before the Doc noticed I had a scar on my left ankle. He sent me to x-ray where they discovered I had a 3" pin holding my foot onto my leg. They showed me the door after thanking me for trying.

I also lost a step brother during Nam, does that count? He was shot in the neck and paralized from the neck down. He ended up drowning in his own puke after too hot a dose of heroin. I hated to see him go down hill like that, but could understand it. I can't imagine having to spend my life in a chair having to be fed.

Nothing wrong with not serving, you do get points for trying though  :-)

The point is that more "freepers" have either served or wanted to serve but were denied.
Most of them libs hate the military and only brag about libs who served to try to make a point but, they fail.
Bush served honorably yet they bash him, now the clown they put in office only slept in a tent in Kenya.

Rather than face them on our home turf?? Interesting concept. How long do you think my post would last there? Not as long as yours have here.

PS

Freepers are cowards, they prove it every day here. And they prove it by trying to derail health care when they need it as much as anyone They are only loyal to whomever has dollar bills in their hands.

Sorry you disapprove, but that's the result we get around her when we insult our Freeper non-friends.

Why aren't you being a dick in the other threads that bait the Freepers?
   

The end result is nothing other than a few moments of entertainment.
If wanted real discussion you would post that at a site with freepers.

6. I think the 2004 campaign and their remarks about Senator Kerry showed us how they really feel
   
about those who have served honorably.

Oh yeah calling his brothers in arms war criminals was really honorable. 
Making statements that the enemy used as propaganda on POWs  real honorable.
