What self-respecting German engineer could have possibly *imagined* that the Mighty Bismarck would have faced WWI aircraft!?

The Brit pilots who flew the old Fairey Swordfish (they called it the "stringbag") used a bolt head on the engine cowling as a sighting point for aiming their torpedoes. They lined up the enemy ship with the bolt head and then estimated the range and how much to lead the target. Not quite state of the art, even for 1940.

I've only just been reading of that tonight.

This is too much. Not that all the rest of it isn't.

That's called SCHADENFRUEDE. Glee from the misfortunes of those who have wromged you. Perhaps not Christian but certainly understandable for these heroes.

**Schachte, call-sign "Batman," has broken his press silence to insist that he was indeed aboard the Boston Whaler or "skimmer" in the early morning mission on December 2, 1968, out of which Sen. John Kerry's first Purple Heart was awarded. Schachte maintains that Kerry's minor arm wound was not sustained while under enemy fire, but was indeed the result of Kerry — code-named "Robin" on this mission — being careless in firing an M-79 grenade launcher.**

So will Kerry give back his first Purple Heart and serve the remaining (approximate) 8 months of his tour of duty?

that's it for tonight...but I think we are going to see something big out of these FBI files and plans to kill senators and Nixon and whatever...and then we will see Kerry linked with the money laundering for the Chinese guy...and then we will see the coverup on MIAs......

Have you freepers seen the new ad on humaneventsonline? The Swifties are relentless. Go, Boys go.

Relentless and smart. Thanks for the heads up. I just checked it out. Gardner has been all over the radio the last couple of days. The swiftees are performing precision surgery on Kerry's campaign - - without an anesthetic. They are talking right over the heads of the rat media whores, going directly to the voters. The rats have never seen anything like it and it is driving them insane.

Life is good.

My deceased brother-in-law would be pleased. God rest his soul!

I would imagine he's right along side my husband, really enjoying this from the other side.

You have said it best. Honor and bravery in the mind of a coward is a horrible and terrible thing to behold.

It may have detered the old MSM, but the new MWDP will remain unswayed by events, for they are joined at the hip with Kerry and the democrats.

"Those self-serving ba*tards who sought to bring this country down from within in the 60's and 70's should be hung up at the edge of town as a warning to all who would destroy this country."

Bingo!! If their character is coyote ugly, drap them over a fence post once disposed of for all other coyotes to take heed.
