LBJ wearing his lied, fake Silver Star that he put himself in for, and because he was an influential Congressman, got, from MacArthur.
YFK with one of his three purple hearts he demanded for a total of wounds you could get sliding into third base.
Do either one of you know how I can “ping” this to the specific attention of whichever individual(s) handle(s) any/all of the veteran-oriented lists hereabouts, please?
Libs would have been offended if Petraeus had shown up in BDUs, too.
In 1951, General MacArthur and President Truman met for a conference at Wake Island. Though not noted for a small ego, Mac met the presidential plane wearing only his usual khakis, not even a necktie.
Truman was offended, the press got wind of it (somehow), and Truman’s fellow liberals complained about the general not wearing full-dress for such an august occasion.
The episode was immortalized in the Hollywood movie starring Gregory Peck.
Chameleon-like, libs will adopt whatever position they need to discredit or disrespect fighting men. It is almost a law of nature.
Libs like Dick can never understand military service although they are willing to enjoy the benefits os someone elses. And they are threatened by the medals. If little dickie had ever won any awards he would probably carry them around too.
Yo.
The world is so upside down...
It feels like we’re living in the twilight zone...
It never ceases to amaze me how childish and imbecillic media people can be sometimes.
Legislators should have their own medals for things like earmarks, bribes, bedding interns, getting away with drowning your date, creative uses for FBI files, using IRS audits as weapons, etc.
I am shocked. I mean Dick Cavitt’s still alive. That’s a piece of trivia that might win you a free beer at the local pub.
Sadly, DICK is only saying what Dick Durbin, Nelson Rockafeller, Bill Clinton, Harry Ried, and the majority of Liberals think. At least he’s honest about his contempt of the military and doesn’t pretend to “support the troops” like most liberals.
My thought exactly ... a name I haven't heard, or even thought of, in at least two decades.
Hey, Dick. Go bring me a Bronze Star from Afghanistan. Go find some Taliban and make strong battle against them, and then come show me your Bronze Star and tell me it's a "frippery", you annoying little Vegas lounge act. And take your borscht-belt buddy Mort with you. Tell him you'll let him open for you at The Sands. He'll be very happy.

POS Ping.
Since they love to bring up Vietnam...

I always thouight that Cavett was a pompous ass. Now he has proven it to me once and for all.
Hey Dick, forget to take your meds??
Typical far-left, elitist moonbat.
A "Yale" grad, don't you know?
Oh, and his degree (the only one on record) is a "Bachelor's Degree in DRAMA.
Whoop-de-doo. I'm impressed Dicky
Of course for someone who has been suffering from clinical and manic depression depression since his freshman year at Yale, one has to wonder if his condition is not manifesting itself all over again in the form of "penis envy" for being confronted with a "real" American?
As Glen Beck is wont to remark, these A-Holes deriding someone like Patreus and his valor, makes blood shoot out of my eyes.
In my 8 years in the USAF (including 18 months in Nam) I was awarded 9 medals and I was/am as proud of my Expert Rifleman Ribbon as I am of my Bronze Star.
Of course for a Chicken Hawk and pseudo-intelectual, arm-chair General like Cavett and his ilk, he cannot even begin to appreciate the pride we who served take in having received such honors, for these words (honor, duty, country) are considered jingoistic and below their dignity and only applies to us "common" folk and peons who are considered foolish and ignorant for having served our country honorably.
Of course, Dicky boy, never had a problem with his guest star on his show John "The Snake" Kerry and failed to even remark about his "fruit" salad, which when he testified before congress (above) his wearing his ribbons on fatigues was immoral, unethical AND ILLEGAL, but then, this fairry-haired-traiterous-rat-bastard, could do no wrong.
An island of Cavetts:
Petraeus graduated from West Point in 1974. He returned to the military academy in 1981. He earned the General George C. Marshall Award as the top graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College Class of 1983 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He subsequently earned a MPA in 1985 and a Ph.D. in international relations in 1987 from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, and later served as an Assistant Professor of International Relations at the U.S. Military Academy. His doctoral dissertation, "The American Military and the Lessons of Vietnam: A Study of Military Influence and the Use of Force in the Post-Vietnam Era," dealt with the influence of the Vietnam War on military thinking regarding the use of force.[20] He also completed a military fellowship at Georgetown's School of Foreign Service in 1994–1995, although he was called away early to serve in Haiti.
From late 2005 through February 2007,[21] Petraeus served as commanding general of Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center (CAC) located there. As commander of CAC, Petraeus was responsible for oversight of the Command and General Staff College and seventeen other schools, centers, and training programs as well as for development of the Army’s doctrinal manuals, training the Army’s officers, and supervising the Army’s center for the collection and dissemination of lessons learned. During his time at CAC, Petraeus and Marine Lt. Gen.James N. Mattis jointly oversaw the writing of Field Manual 3-24 (on counter-insurgency), the body of which was written by a variety of field-grade Army officers and other experts.[22]
Cavett, you're a fool.

He is one of those 'old celebrities' who wander the streets of Manhattan with their heads held high, trying to meet every passer-bys eye in desperate hope that someone will recognize them.
His is a pathetic existence.
I can predict that the leftists will smear Mr. McCain’s military service. They’ll try a swift-boat type propaganda campaign that will blow back with hurricane force and destroy the Stalinist party. They can’t help themselves. These tiny, wimpy purse-carrying worms will always try to cut down men taller than themselves.
I imagine this little twit, in his school days, relished his job as hall monitor as an intoxicating way to have authority over others.
He probably avoided any sports, not only that he was inadequate, but because the thought of having to shower with all those boys was terrifying to him, his small little body exposed and open to ridicule.
He probably favored hanging out with the girls and gossiping because they were less threatening than the boy’s and he could easily regale them with his pseudo intellect.
He nothing more than a small effete little man who uses his dry sarcastic wit as a defense against his obvious insecurity.
