Actually, that was the F-102 Delta Dagger, an interceptor, not a bomber.
FReepers defended his service from the MSM and liberals then, but somehow Paul's service is not valuable. Hypocrites, all you guys.
I will be glad to be corrected if I'm wrong, but in all my time on Ron Paul threads Soldier Dad is the only guy I've seen question Paul's service. You see...
There is a very big difference between denigrating someone's service and saying that it doesn't mean they get a free pas for life.
There is a very big difference between denigrating someone's service and rejecting the idea that it makes them a superior thinker on defense issues.
There is a very big difference between denigrating someone's service and rejecting the idea that being an Air Force doctor makes one especially qualified to command the world's most powerful military.
There is a very big difference between denigrating someone's service and rejecting the idea that cut-and-run is now acceptable strategy if the bonehead saying it once wore a uniform.
No, you don't get it. I never insinuated that at all, that Paul is qualified to be CIC because of his military service. No, not at all. I'm saying that it's disingenuous when FReepers dismiss Paul's service as if it was a week in summer camp or something. Paul's military service is just as honorable as those who died in the battlefields, and it's annoying when holier-than-thou types sneeringly look down on Paul because he was in a non-combat role. The same FReepers who rightfully defended Bush's service against Kerry and the MSM are now dismissing Paul's service like a joke, never mind that Paul served in the same branch that Bush did in his last 3 years. I'm not saying that Paul's service exempts him from criticism. Criticize Paul's foreign policy all you want, Hell I'm not completely sold on it too but there's no need to bash his military service.
