Luttrell an Murphy were not murderers. They could take the media backlash but not if they werent in the right.

Heck, luttrell is taking media backlash now, and standing up to it.

They were just thinking out loud. The media is no friend to trees guys and the media has been responsible for deaths, but not here. These guys were not going to murder kids to save themselves

That’s all

“These guys were not going to murder kids to save themselves”

Even when I was still in canuckistan during the Iraq War, the lib media and foreign media were in cahoots cheering for deaths of American soldiers. The AP especially. Those traitorous bastards were the sole reason for driving anti Americanism just to spite Dubya’.

I know. Hey, I’ve heard the Viet Nam POWs talk about witnessing the deaths caused by Jane Fonda, after watching her, in person, in Hanoi. That she wasnt tried for treason speaks to the pass they get and probably contributes to the pass they get.

I think Marcus could regret it for obvious reasons, but made the right choice

Media or no media, murdering kids is not ok and he knew it

Just my take. They sure could’ve used a working radio to get a command decision on such a deal. They’d have been told to do what they did but not had to live with the guilt

But our guys are not about murdering kids and old men as much as the media would like to think so

Tecumseh Sherman was right when he said every reporter should be killed because they are a traitorous bunch.

Nobody was killed because of Jane Fonda’s visit. Lots of false stories about that. Talked to several POW friends of mine who were there.

No POW note given by Jane to the No. Vietnamese.
No torture for refusing to meet with her.

Still, Hanoi Jane was and is a traitor. Her own acts, photos and words proved that.

Enough to have her convicted and shot. In another time and another place, like WW2.

We’ve lost our guts, but our soldiers/sailors/marines and fliers haven’t. Only our leaders.

PS: Having met and questioned Baby Jane about her activities and claims re Vietnam, I can honestly say that she is a beautiful piece of ignorant shit (as opposed to Rose O’Donnell who is just a piece of shit).

Tom Hayden didn’t marry her for her brains. If so, boy was he disappointed.

Stupid question but why didn’t they take them prisoners with them up the mountain and call their guys rather than doing what they did?

You’ll have to attend the annual symposium given by the pilots of the North Viet Nam prison camp, or read some of their accounts. No one can tell me, after seeing their testimonies year after year in front of their colleagues, families, the entire base of active duty and their families, each other, that when each gives an account of what Fonda did that tgey are lying in front of everyone, that they conspired the story.

It’s insane to assert such a falsehood

She was there, there are photos and her statements, they asked her as they were paraded in front of her, by passing a note, to send word to their families their social security numbers and she gave that to the north Viet Namese colonel He tortured them, resulting in some deaths.

Do you read? Do you have any idea what you are talking about? What these men went through for 6 and 7 years? The psychological and physical torture.

There’s a museum here there are prison uniforms and scratches of guys tied in possible contortions. They are permanently disabled, their chest muscles torn. They watched their friends die

Do you think they get together and make up stuff to tell people

Their wives have stories. Do they get up and say oh there they go again with that silly Jane Fonda story?

But there’s always some flip, egotistical know it all here on free republic who won’t let the Jane fonda comment go unanswered.

It’s worse than jake tapper

Why don’t you go tell one of these guys they’re full of crap?

Why argue with me? They’re still alive, most of them. They write books contact their publisher

Dope

No, not stupid, if you've never had to do it or train for it. It's almost impossible to maintain stealth on the move with prisoners. There is always they likelihood one or more, will compromise your position at any given time and likely the worst possible time.

Jane Fonda says that no one was killed or tortured over those aspects of her visit, but some POWs say there was torture over her visit. I am more willing to believe the POWs in "lots of false stories" who mentioned specific names and tortures many years ago than I am to believe careful wording from the traitor you spoke with (or Jane Fonda's claim that the specific stories were part of a Nixon conspiracy). BTW, I agree with you that, when young, she was one of the most beautiful packages of venereal disease alive.

Did you read the book? See the film? It’s all about having no communication ability. The radio signal was out

You can be sure that there will be a lot of criticism as if what they did should’ve been easy

You can be sure that when SEALs do or dont do things there’s a reason

I never said anything about VD

Why would anyone even dream of listening to her?

She is a propagandist. She makes lies out of half truths.

Why would anyone even think of not taking the word of a woman who gave aid and comfort to the enemy during wartime over the word of the men who survived in a torture camp for seven years in service of our country?

That alone takes more character and virtue and honesty than most will ever see in real life

I don’t know what happened to free republic

What dopes!

2nd operation for torn rotator cuff.

Should work.

My Doc took real good care of me and ran interference with the insurance company for two years.

Didn’t need a lawyer or nothing.

Best part of his operation was his staff.

They were amazing. let me push as hard as I could even though it was more than they asked for and more than most people do.

Imuh gonna be back to surfing, snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking and best part; chasing girls again.

Yipee Kigh Yeah....mthrfkrs.....

To celebrate, I’m going to Idaho and jumping off the then”Corona Arch”. It’s a natural bridge and when you reach the bottom of the 120 foot jump, you swing in some very large arcs.

2 mins. Check it;

God will prove he loves me if I survive . . . . Or I’ll be a rather large ink spot.

LOL

re: “Those traitorous bastards were the sole reason for driving anti Americanism just to spite Dubya’.”

That’s it exactly. That’s what I cannot stomach about liberals. They use absolutely everything for possible political gain. It doesn’t matter what the consequence to our nation, our soldiers in the field, our national will and morale - all that is secondary to their political agenda.

That’s why Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader at the time, publicly stated “the war is lost” - because he didn’t/doesn’t give a damn about the truth or the fact that our young men and women were in harm’s way, or what was good for the American people - that was all expendable in order to smear GW, to gain political leverage against the true “enemy” - his political opposition.

That’s also why Reid, the democrat party, and the GOPe - all these make me literally sick to my stomach - because they all acted for political gain - the American people or the consequences to the country be damned.
