The father has exaggerated -do some research. He did not claim to see combat as an air traffic controller.
Typical know it all.
Trump needs to make a video on how the rnc and the dnc have been backstabbing and lieing to the American people for the last 20 years. He should buy airtime and show it at the same time as the debate which he should boycott as a violation of the contract.
He would not have to share the stage with anyone and would get a much higher market share of the ratings than a debate.
He could also invite two of the top polling republicans to a mini debate on the issues and sell commercial time to cover the costs or do it online.
He could also sell ad time and donate the profits to our vets.
I’ll bet he comes up with something grand to counter these republican backstabbers!
Cruz’s father told some whoppers and Cruz wrote about his hero dad knowing Frank Pais etc. In fact, The old man claimed he was with him when he died. The truth is from SF friends that Pais was killed 7 years later. You spouted your air traffic control in RVN to me long ago, and; I can flat out tell you how safe Pleiku AFB, Phan Rang, Cam Rahn plus every other Air Base in RVN was next to what most Army troops saw and Marines saw. Pleiku had the 4th ID HQ very close and the II Corps Mike Force HQ with several BN’s was close to the Pleiku AFB. I was lucky as hell to have our FAC fly me in from Duc Co SF camp, which we used as a northern launch site, to Pleiku for a night. That BOQ room was like a 5 star luxury hotel next to sleeping with rats underground in Duc Co plus dodging the incoming that most A camps received. That O club was damn plush. Frankly, I preferred being in the bush with our Montagnards and sleeping on the ground to Duc Co. Our AF chopper pilots and crew lived with us back at Ban Me Thout East off the airstrip. They saw plenty of bullets directed at their choppers.

The above is on the Internet. It is not the only one I just found.
You have a very bad habit of calling folks liars, plus a list of other personal insults. You shouted your combat crap before and sitting in an major AFB air control tower during a war is a plush job next to most.
Jealous, are you ?
Here is another source. This is the NYT which I despise, but; the Cuban who is interviewed stated what the SF man did. Cruz’s father exaggerates. He did little if any fighting.
I doubt anyone is jealous or really cares.
The Cuban in the NYT article I believe just like the two men I served with.
“You could still use the land to farm below the power line”
Oh, that makes it all better...lol
The bigger point is if you’re against eminent domain, you’re against the history of the USA. Of course the Confederate Flag is US history, and that can be dismissed willy-nilly.
“But you don’t want to DEFEND THAT USE, DO YOU ?
YOU just WANT TO DISTORT THE ISSUE !”
I have had property taken for various things. It happens. Had over one hundred acres taken for the “buffer zone” around Stennis Space Center in So. Ms.
Next thing up they have plans to split this farm in half with a 4 lane hiway. Not to mention the power line that just came through. So, if you’ve never had property taken away, then, you’re just distorting the issue. I’m not for taking property for private things, but not much I can do. Hillary will take your life. I’m for Trump/Cruz.
