GOODY BAGFUL OF DISHONOR ........(14 wimps and a sob sister)

IT WAS a fitting image of the 14 wimps and a sob sister arriving back in the United Kingdom yesterday: skulking away with pink goody bags in hand.

The color was no accident - although yellow would've been more appropriate.

I must have missed all that.

What you also "missed" is that the intel (not "spy") crew was trained and expected to ditch, not land on dry land, and to insure that the enemy did not retrieve any sensitive material while the plane was sinking. The mediocre spawn of eight years of Clinton-crapola, they failed even to attempt to do their duty. And you pontificate about the Brits, while totally clueless about reality. Pathetic.

It was an EP-3, and as a US Naval Officer let me give you my opinion.

Someone most likely can force you to say anything, but you had damned sure make them make you.

I found the conduct of these Brits embarrassing. And by the way, I'm not alone in Naval Air in thinking that our Aviators should have put the EP-3 into the water, vice landing in China.

I believe all of us WW2 vets who served in England or were attached in some way with a British or Canadian unit feel the same as your Marine does-—I served at Juno Beach, Normandy with Canadian forces when British and Canadians were some of the bravest people I ever met-—the Socialist scum who have taken over England think appeasement at any price is the answer-—the ‘Royal Navy’ has become the “royal joke of the week”, after all they had a destroyer within sight and shooting distance but did nothing-—the last laugh will be when they are put against the wall first and shot dead when the Islamists take over-—even terrorists know that cowards who appease their enemies will do it again for anyone else, so they wisely get rid of the cowards first-—I wonder just how long it will be before we Americans act in the same way, especially since the RATS have taken over our Congress-

Seriously, don’t you think the fact that their support system had turned them over without letting them do what they were trained to do would have had an adverse effect on how much they were willing to sacrifice in captivity.

I agree that on the surface they didn’t handle the captivity well at all, but having never been in that situation myself I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt until more information becomes public.

In any case, I thank God, literally, that it was them and not me, and that they were returned safely.

Ok (sigh); tell me the Royal Navy sailors who defamed their government with smiles on their faces, and thanked their captures for the "gift" of their freedom, acted honorably. Then we shall discuss who is in touch with reality and who is pathetic.

"Don’t the Brits have an equivalent to the SERE School my shipmates and I went through on the way to Vietnam?" My thoughts exactly...don't they have a Warner Springs, CA with a bunch of guys running around with red stars on their hats hollering in broken Russian-English? Our SERE program was for 7-days and I lost 6-pounds and wasn't over weight when I started. After about 15-minutes in the POW camp, I was pretty convinced I WAS a POW. Great program.

I lost seven pounds plus hearing in one ear for a while after "Adolph Eichmann's nephew" beat me around for a day trying to make me sign a "confession."

Glad someone’s saying this. They should all be court martialed.
