Man, you are rambling with nonsense, I haven’t even offered an opinion, except to tell you how absurd it is for Americans on an American conservative forum to be called Nazis, and “Arabs” for discussing their men killed in combat.

It must have been an incredibly bloody and hard fought battle, the heroics were extraordinary.

“Our Commanding Officer, Captain William Loren McGonagle, received the Congressional Medal of Honor

Our Executive Officer, Lieutenant Commander Philip McCutcheon Armstrong, received the Navy Cross posthumously

Several men received the Silver Star Medal, some posthumously

Several men received the Bronze Star Medal, some posthumously

205 men received the Purple Heart Medal, 34 posthumously

All crewmen received the Combat Action Ribbon

All crewmen share the Presidential Unit Citation”

You've continued to refuse to discuss the facts behind the links I posted. You continued repeating the bandwagon propaganda approach and are even dishonest with that. You're also confused about which nation we're in. Not all of us Americans come from little communities that Benito (or other notorious fascist/commie despots) would have been proud of. Here's where we stand. Israel is our ally, and enemies of Israel are not.

"By a margin of nearly five to one, Americans oppose the Bush administration's demand to halt all further Jewish construction in Judea-Samaria (the West Bank) and Gaza . . . The poll, carried out by John McLaughlin & Associates, surveyed a scientific sample of 1,000 American adults on May 21, 2003.

ansel, who issued those medals and commendations?

Yes, the same admin that sent that ship where it didn’t belong.

They didn’t do it for the men; they did it to provide cover for their own evil actions. LBJ was different than Obama only in that he was more intelligent.
