she was surgeon general and she was actually a fully qualified physician-just a little weird,but so are many of us :))
my father in law served on the murmansk run and was sunk once-he did receive veterans status many years later-and he deserved it-he wasn’t even a us citizen at the time-he was a legal immigrant from honduras-his brother served 27 years in the us army,retiring as a master sergeant-immigrants were different back then
where those of us still alive can urinate on his grave-how big a crime is it?just be drunk when you do it and claim the “patrick kennedy exemption”
Only cowards and scam artists need to lie about and make up the heroics they claim they were involved in. Ego!
A true hero, a true soldier would rather just live in peace and quiet after the viloence of war!
This is a small world.
Or, maybe Sgt Gittens ~ he was from somewhere down there ~ filled out the uniform ~ made it look good.
There are people born for the military world.

So, did Mrs. Clinton call her daughter?
Why would she not call her daughter, even if she wasn't in NYC.
It never ceases to amaze me how horrible the democrats treat our military and yet turn around and try to establish a connection to the military.
The democrats are certifiably NUTS!!
Look at the RATS for phony soldiers—prominent leaders are Bill Clintoon (draft dodger) & wife (I wanted to join the military), sKerry (dubious 3 purple hearts).
What I was refering to was Hillary’s claim that Chelsey was jogging around the Trade Center area ... when actually Chelsey was many miles away!
Didn’t you imagine Chelsea has been telling her mother stories about what she’s up to that explain why she’s not answering the phone in the evenings or early morning?
At 09.10 hours on 20 Mar, 1945, U-995 fired torpedoes at the convoy JW-65 about 25 miles east of North Kilden Light and reported one ship sunk and two others damaged. In fact, only the Horace Bushnell (Master William John Lacey) in station #11 was hit by one torpedo on the port side in the engine room. The blast created a hole 33 feet by 26 feet, cracked the main deck, completely destroyed the engines and killed the second engineer and three men on watch below. The explosion also blew the engine room skylight over the side, cut off the power, destroyed one lifeboat and filled another with oil. The vessel settled with a slight list by the stern until water reached 34 feet and then steadied. The survivors among the eight officers, 34 crewmen and 27 armed guards (the ship was armed with one 5in, one 3in and eight 20mm guns) on board prepared themselves to abandon ship, while HMS Orwell (G 98) took the ship in tow. Heavy seas prevented the destroyer from making any headway and advised the crew to abandon ship. At 11.50 hours, all survivors went directly on board the destroyer, which took them to Murmansk. The chief engineer died of shock on the escort vessel.
The Horace Bushnell was later beached by two Soviet salvage tugs at Teriberski, where the cargo was salvaged by the Soviets and the ship was declared a total loss. 1949 the wreck was salvaged by the Soviets and repaired in the Mathia Thesen Werft in Wismar, East Germany. The ship was converted to a transport and supply ship for the Soviet high seas fishing fleet and renamed Pamyati Kirova. She was still listed in Lloyd´s Register of 1975/76.
The uncle of one of my coworkers served on the U-995 when she torpedoed the Horace Bushnell. He now lives in Radcliff, Kentucky and gives lectures to young officers going through the Armor School at Fort Knox, while the U-995 is a museum ship in Germany.
Wonder how the Clinton Chinese Mafia SS is going to spin this?? Wonder who knew what when??

Most presidents these days are being buried at their libraries so hopefully, Slick will end up at the Presidential Doublewide in Arkansas. It galls me to no end that as a taxpayer, I'm going to be paying for full state funerals for Mr. Peanut and Slick .... I won't be watching.
The Clintons will sell anything. Missile tech. Lincoln Bedroom. Pardons for terrorists. Pardons for drug dealers. Arlington burial plots. Nothing is off limits.
As Surgeon General of the US, Joyce Elders was a member of the Commissioned Uniformed part of the US Public Health Service. The uniform of the USPHS unfortunatly looks just like a US Navy officers uniform with the exception of the symbol just above the stripes which identifies the wearer as USPHS.
"..because the truth for the left is fiction that serves their purpose. They have to lie about such atrocities because they can’t find any that fit the template of the way they see the US military. In other words, for the American anti-war left, the greatest inconvenience they face is the truth." - Rush Limbaugh
Rush said that during the same 'controversial' exchange under fire now. He was addressing a different subject but it seems to apply to anything the left says.
She’s just stylin’ and profilin’ in her Public Health Service uniform with the stripes of a full admiral. Who knows whether she’s authorized — but as for her NDSM ribbob, I seriously doubt that anyone awarded it to her, save herself.
