Don't quite a few police dogs also have medals?

Benedict Arnold was one too. This line is getting more play than I thought and is a great talking point.

Should become a great pubbie talking point, Ask your rat friends what other great American War Hero does John F'in Kerry remind you of? Of course its Benedict Arnold.

I am just so damn pissed and these gutless lefties. We need a veteran protest at DNC or something.

Me too. I don't really like either party (see the handle), but the Dims are just so downright nasty to the military and veterans it's sickening. The Republican half of the party is definitely preferable.

GREAT piece.

No offense, but I don't think that Bush(43) has a DD-214 as he was in the Air National Guard. I believe he has the National Guard equivalent, the NGB Form 22. This is the same mistake that former Senator Max Cleland made on Hardball when he said that everyone who left the military has a DD-214. In his zeal to damn Bush, he showed his continuing ignorance by assigning the specific term "DD-214" to be the requirement to prove Bush(43)'s term of service, instead of the correct NGB Form 22. Sort of like saying the brand name "Kleenex" instead of the generic "facial tissue".

Bottom line, Bush(43) does not have a DD-214, but he does have an NGB Form 22 for his Air National Guard service.

Bush(43) NGB Form 22

Hope this helps...

If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

Yikes, there is a resemblance. Maybe someone can get them to morph.

This is excellent. Too bad it is too long for a tag line:

Vote and campaign against every Democrat currently running for office anywhere, as if your life depended on it. Someday, it may!

Arnold did not lose a leg. His leg was severely injured at Saratoga. There is a monument to his leg, but it does not bear his name.

Arnold was posted to West Point partly to enable him to recover. Alas, his wife had convinced him by then. Had he only married better, he could have been President.

A few minutes later Arnold caught up with some of Learned's Connecticut militia. "My old Norwich and New London friends," he shouted as he rode by, and the cheers of the men rang in his ears. Within moments Arnold was at the head of Learned's brigade, exhorting the troops to follow him, "Come on brave boys, come on!" Three of Learned's regiments charged uphill into withering fire from Specht's men. American and German cannon exchanged canister fire. Finally, as Balcarres' British troops fled past their position, the Germans broke.

Fraser was still trying to form a new line on the right, but one of Morgan's sharpshooters put an end to that. Conspicuous in his scarlet and white uniform and mounted on a large gray horse, Fraser suddenly crumpled backward with a bullet in his abdomen (see "Americans," June 2000). He would die the next morning.

By this time most of Burgoyne's men had fallen back to the protection of the two massive redoubts the British had built at Freeman's Farm during the weeks after the first battle. Arnold wasted no time leading a charge against the nearest to him, the Balcarres Redoubt. He waved his sword and dashed among the troops as musket balls and grapeshot whizzed around them. But the huge log walls--bristling with abatis and defended by desperate infantry--kept the Americans out.

Looking north toward the less-heavily defended Breymann Redoubt, Arnold spied an opening, and in a heartbeat he raced for it through a hail of lead. As Morgan and Dearborn attacked it head-on, Arnold led a furious charge toward a pair of cabins that separated the fortifications, then turned his force headlong into the Breymann Redoubt's unprotected left flank. Dozens of shocked Germans dropped in the rush; countless others ran for their lives.

Arnold had just entered the works when a German soldier fired at him, striking him in the same leg he had nearly lost in the Quebec Expedition. Another bullet killed his horse, which fell and crushed Arnold's leg beneath it. As Massachusetts soldiers chased off enemy soldiers and burned British tents, Connecticut militiamen carried Arnold off the field. His left leg was ruined, but Arnold would not allow it to be amputated. Several agonizing months of recovery would leave it two inches shorter than the right.

By now darkness had fallen and the Second Battle of Saratoga had ended. At 1:00 a.m., with his army shattered, Burgoyne issued an order for the troops still on the field to withdraw. British and German losses for the day totaled 278 killed, 331 wounded, and 285 captured--roughly half the force that had ventured forth that morning. American casualties came to about 130. Burgoyne's dream of conquering the northern colonies for the Crown had clearly ended.

Bump for later. *EJ*

[cksharks]

Maybe they will miss and hit the upper west side next time.

[marty60]

Amen to that! This country is at a turning point. If Bush loses the UNITED STATES LOSES

I think the dems are so desperate.Thay are also SO hypocritical they didn't have a proplem with Bill Clition running with his tail inbetween his legs to avoid going to Vietnam. I mean at least President Bush was in the Air Force, Cliton wasn't in the milatary at all!! Now that the dems are behind a candidate who was in the navy they are all pro-military and are saying that Pres Bush is disloyal to his country becuse he didn't go to Vietnam. Again just look what Cliton did during that time. Also, John Kerry has voted to cut down on the milatary in the senate! But I will say this,at least Kerry was in the Vietnam war, he fought for his country and saved a man's life. But when he came back form Vietnam he became an anti-war nut. He was with nutty antiwar hippies, like Jane Fonda who was a pro commei bic_h. He made speeches that where pro communist, anti american and, ofcourse, atacked then president Nixon,who was a very good president. I think the Dems will lose with Kerry if he is to be nominated. He is so full of himself and gives long winded speeches. He is also a big taxer who wants to repeal most of the Bush taxcuts which is just asking for bigger taxes. He voted on the first gulf war and this second one too, and he then starts to attack them both. WHAT A HYPOCRITE! I just think his recerd in the Vietnam war and in the senate will bite him in the ass when or even if he runs agenst President Bush this fall.

BUSH CHEYNEY '04'!
