“”I think the crew has always wanted someone in the Navy to stand up and say ‘Hey, you guys did a great job in a poorly conceived mission without any backup,”’ said Skip Schumacher, 65, of St. Louis, a lieutenant junior grade on the ship.”

I wonder if McCain could talk to someone in the Navy to help make this happen?

McCain should demand the USS Pueblo be returned to the United States.

If not, sink it with a cruise missile and give it an honorable end.

That it is a propaganda museum for Lil Kim is a disgrace.

The capture of the Pueblo was an intelligence bonanza for the Soviets.

Too bad the crypto gear was so solidly built. I wonder if the military has learned from that?

You can find it pretty easily on Google Earth. It’s amazing how small that ship really is, and makes you wonder what buffoon put it so far out there on it’s own 40 years ago.

I was aboard the USS Enterprise as the time. We left Sasebo Japan with orders to head for Korea which we did. I worked on the flight deck and I can tell you it was cold. I had to cut the arms off a sweater and put over my head to keep warm. We all stood around the exhaust of the APU’s to keep warm when not working.

And how appropriate, that the North Korean Commies are reassembling their nuclear facilities, demonstrating once again that our illustrious President has been played for a sucker by negotiating with these sumb!tches. And Kim Jong Il is definitely looking forward to more goodies coming his way should an Obama Administration be sworn in next January.

Those clowns in Pyongyang have been laughing their asses off at us for decades, it's time to wipe that smirk off their faces with a major smackdown. Give them 48 hours to tow the Pueblo to international waters where the U.S. Navy will take possession, or we'll sink her on the spot where she's anchored.

One of the guys on that ship spoke to my Kiwanis club about three years ago. It was chilling.

One of my mom’s high school friends and classmates was married to the Captain of the Pueblo at the time of capture.
