Wait just a minute there before you go knocking the VFW – Not a single one of them is wearing a VFW patch or a VFW hat. While I don't know what group they represent, it sure ain't the VFW.
Blumenthal is a liar. You are correct and I would never besmirch the VFW. My father loved them and also the DAV.
What I saw was an old friend that believed Blumenthal's bullsh#t. There was a couple of guys on the stage or behind him that were a pretty sad sight. I feel sorry for them. They are the loyal friend of a liberal, lying sack of human excrement.
He knows EXACTLY what he said. He wanted the "glory" of combat without the potential sacrifice it entails. I am reminded of the quote, "There is nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at without result. " Winston Churchill
He wanted the vicarious feeling of bravery and honor by mooching at funerals, attending parades and on and on. He is PATHETIC and with a son in the Marines knows that he has NO HONOR.
Perhaps I misplaced my words, what I meant to say was that this so called Marine, brought dishonor to himself, his God, his Country and the Corps. By dragging out others to cover for him he showed himself to be a coward and deceiver of the highest order and deserves our loathing.
Of course it reminds me of when I returned from the Bay of Pigs, Vietnam, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Panama, Grenada, Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, Afghanistan, Philippines and of course all the places that I came back from that are too secret to tell you without clearance, cause doncha know that I was in the Marine Corp LRPR, sniper, SEAL's, CIA, Force Recon part of the Marine Corps.... In fact Blumenthal and I were on a couple of secret missions together... so I can vouch for him. /sarc
Man those words are slippery and I must admit that I might have misplaced some of them and misspoke others. But I will not let any of you tarnish my 4 year exposure to the Marine Corps with the facts about a few misplace words. Of course I was just a little old 0321 in a modern world, what did I know. yeah, yeah, yeah.. I know I didn't do the nickel (full 5 years) but something came up.
hahahahaaha...
