And was checking the web out on whats he been doing lately and came across this.
You Corn Huskers could do a lot worst.
Before you start to put him down. Read his book.
Yes he is a hero.
He saved his crew, Stared down the Chinese, And brought back his crew in good shape. The most important and valuable equipment on the plane.
We got the aircraft back. So the Chinese got a peek at some 20-30 year old technology.
We let China make much more sophisticated parts and circuits. Some residing in the apparatus you are using to view this.
Anything of value was, Erased, smashed, crushed, placed in heavy boxes and destroyed. Before being thrown out the hatch when they were still miles away from were they landed.
I was in the P-3 Navy for 10 years. And got to stand in the tube on a EP-3
There was nothing left on the plane that 24 people needed to pay the ultimate sacrifice for!

And please forgive me, but this is the first thread I've read this morning. When I first clicked I thought I read "Sharon Osborne" and I thought: "Who let her out of rehab?".
Enough. BUMP!
That's not the way I remember it. Not to say that that isn't the way it was, but that is not the way I remember it.
If you are getting your information from Shane Osborn's book and campaign, you may want to beware the possibility that he is putting out a very self-serving version of events.
In any case, there are a few million Nebraskans who I don't have such uncertainties about, so I would be more inclined to vote for one of them!
Is he running as a Donk, a 'Pubbie, or is the Treasurer's seat non-partisan in Nebraska?
YOUR ARE WRONG!!!
He is not a "hero".
The men who died on Papa Romeo 26 are HEROs.
This guy wimped out big time.
His first order of business was to DITCH THE DAMN PLANE AT SEA.
Failing that, his second order of business was to make sure it self ignited on the tarmac.
This bozo handed the Chinese one of our most super secret airplanes in PRISTINE condition.
He was worried that the females on his crew would be mistreated if he did what he was suppose to do.
Papa Romeo 32 had incendiary devices on board. They were put there wayyyy back when. I know.
This sub standard puke makes me sick.
You may have been in the P-3 navy, but if you weren't in the "Q", you don't know what its all about.
In the past many men died following that creed, this man gets a medal for "saving" himself and crew????
At first I thought the title said Sharon Osborn.
I thought you where Shane Osborn and by the way the guy ain't a hero, He worse than a scumbag. Saving a crew is one thing, But the future impact of giving in "Almost" mint condition sophisticated aircraft to the commies is another. Don't count on my vote.
