Amen.
Folks have no concept of the hyper-glut of jet jockeys in 1973, as VN wound down in a steep curve! The military was practically begging pilots to take a hike, wald away, adios. Thousands were riffed. Nobody cared if an ANG pilot of a discontinued jet (F-102) reported or not in his final year.
To do what? Sharpen pencils, and do crossword puzzles?
Yep. We're like the guerilla warfare of conservative activism. We hit 'em and move before they have time to recover.
It kind of reminds me of my Dad landing at Cam Rhan Bay in 1964 with SF. He often remembers that they didn't know what a booby trap was until one of the guys walked into one. From that day on, they had to learn how to use guerilla tactics. Cause the VC were really good at it.
Then claiming to be a 5 years in Viet Nam SEAL, to pump up his persona for an attack on Bush, was a serious mistake.
On this good natured chat, did he happen to mention which SEAL Teams and platoons and years he served with in Viet Nam?
All he has to do is mention when and where he went through training, and what teams he served on.
Just as simple as that.
I haven't sent this information out anywhere, only what's on this thread, posted right here.
Well done!
Helluva thread Matt....would like to see Drudge post this in his column about ongoing DNC-Kerry-MSM lies.
We have thousands of motivated volunteers who can run research rings around them, minutes after their lies hit the ether.
I can't figure out Drudge. Tonight he barely mentioned the forged memos, and he thinks Rather will ride out the storm, no problem.
I'm wondering if Drudge (Mr. Internet Blog Pioneer) is behind the "new media" wave, or if we're getting ahead of it?
I hope Jewish voters take note that the fake SEAL they are using is a MUSLIM.
We have to thank the highly organised SEAL community (including former & retired as well as active SEAL officers, chiefs and POs). Every time I am near one of the big wheels in our community I hammer on this: we should be doing the same thing for the integrity of our credentials.
The big wheels usually tell me to sit down and STFU (and I say "yes sir" and do just that).
I don't think that civilians can ever understand what it is to make your name in something that is very, very hard to get into, and then see some phony dragging your name -- your unit's name -- through the mud. It's like opening the door to your house and seeing someone punching your mom. Instant fight reflex.
Notice how many phonies the Left has had lately:
Which brings us to the heart attack daddy of the phonies, their very Lizard King:
Do we see a pattern emerging here...?
d.o.l.
Criminal Number 18F
The media is a huge obstacle.
We have a few canales with a platform and we all know who they are.
Just wish they'd push the info they are provided a bit harder at times.
And other times they simply turn traitor like O'Butthead did with the Swifties.
We have some of FOX, WSJ edit page, 90% of talk radio and a majority of the Net but our to the death foes have nearly all the print media, 95% of hollywood, all of the wire services and nearly all of academia and so called experts plus all of the visual media sans FPX and a token inadequate conservative here and there.
But...from the polls, it appears folks can see thru the bullshite. The value of those swifty ads cannot be overemphasized. Kerry can hem and haw about combat embellishment but he can' run from betraying his comrades when he got home. He's got to wear that tag.
Again...great job
Quite a pattern. 'Rats have little or no honor (Zell excluded) and will lie to boost a resume if it will advance their career or their cause.
Only now that devil internet is connecting all the old records, and we "pajama people" are like a "Netizen-NSA" in our combined research capabiiity, ferreting out their falsehoods!
(I still think Kerry lives in terror of his original citations (typed by himself) being released. Especially his first bogus PH, resubmitted by himself, months after being denied by his CO and the MO. His ticket out of combat.
Drudge did make a good point tonight. Maureen Dowd had dozens of visits to the morning chat shows and other MSM outlets to flog her BUsh-bashing book, and she's sold 15,000. A dud, with the entire MSM behind her!
The Swifties sold 850,000 copies, with NO visits on the MSM shows at all!
New media is winning!
She's a dried up prune. I'd rather spend a night bar hopping with Laura Ingraham or Ann Coulter any time!
I am a USAF veteran and I'll be damned if I would ever feel compelled to register with some website in order to authenticate my service.
I feel certain that there are other more "unimpeachable" means.
It offends me that some amateur organizations claim to be the authorities as opposed the the USN itself.
Yes but would you do it in your jammies?
Buy a clue, you have the telescope wrong way around.
Matt, Great Job!
Now, put on your real Seal Camo PJs and go to bed!:)
