I DON’T!
Everybody Lies About War Stories
Well sir you are a liar with a title like that. Liberals are the fathers of lies and have no problem making things up like Kerry, Hillary, lame brain reporters. It would be easier to prove that every liberal lies. Conservatives have a higher moral of truth than the liberal sons of Satan.
There was a time when I used to give speeches to civilian audiences about what the Army was doing at that time. I used to start those speeches with the anecdotal question, “Do you know the difference between a War story and a Fairy Tale?”. Answer: A Fairy Tale starts out “Once Upon a Time” and a War story starts out “No Shit, There I Was”.
I REMEMBER when Obie’s Uncle Liberated Auschwitz..
Every time I see “Staff Sergeant Pillsbury” I start throwing things at the screen.
And his useless woman-friend is trying to gin up sympathy saying he’s been “so devastated” (sorry he got caught) and that he’s clinically depressed...
Now that Stolen Valor has been blessed by the SCROTUS as “free speech”, we will see many more of these lowlife Leftists.
Lyndon Johnson received the Silver Star for going on a bombing raid as an observer in a B-26 bomber early in WWII in the South Pacific. The bomber that he was aboard had mechanical problems, aborted the mission, and returned to base without having seen any enemy or dropping any bombs. Johnson was a Congressman at the time and Lieutenant Commander in the Naval Reserve. He was on a tour of the war zone in the Pacific. MacArthur thought that pinning the medal on Johnson would help him in his relationship with the Congress. He was right. Johnson was presented the medal on numerous occasions while campaigning for reelection during the war.
A lot of people exaggerate. However, if you’re going to the the anchor of a major, national news network, you should be held to a higher standard. No?
Do I think some guy's stories have gotten "better" as the years have gone by? Perhaps. But they were there, and when they said they got blown up, they got blown up.
They may say they flew 30 feet in the air when they only flew 20, but it still happened. Big difference from stolen valor or what Williams did.
(I got better...)
Let’s not forget Tom Harkin
I remember when I was in the Civil War, Oh wait War of 1812 I apologize I took a musket ball to the eye.
