They placed him as the “fall guy” to protect the electeds.
I don’t remember who was president when I joined. That was over 45 years ago.
“Oliver North, the controversial retired Marine...”
Only a drooling, 50 IQ communist like MEGAN R. WILSON would find Col. North “controversial.”
When I was on the liberal cocktail circuit in my younger days, Marine veterans scared the crap out of these leftist female apes.
“I think next to Bush as VP as Reagan’s biggest mistake, maybe next was Nancy.”
Amnesty was right up there too.
But apparently he loved Nancy and she was loyal to him. I would have to be with a conservative, but apparently not all do.
Nixon, probably. I was born in ‘72.
Me and most of my Vietnam buddies voted for Nixon in ‘72.
When North did his Captain America turn before the committee of weasels a number of officers at the office looked like their mother had just died. I said to one major tha
North by playing Mr. Smith in uniform just about killed the Iran Contra Demonrat circus with one shot. I said it was about the most brilliant piece of political theater since the Checkers Speech
In one swoop the political dynamics were flipped on that pompous crook Mitchell and the other rats. North’s lawyer was inspired but his client had to be able to give a bravura performance as Nixon had done so the populous that wanted believe both could do so. By so doing it also finished any chance of censure or worse by the rat turds on the Prez.
The officer I told this to just about had a cow. North had disgraced the armed forces, he should never have appeared before the inquisition in uniform as it degraded the sanctity of the the officer corps to use the uniform as a sort of theatre prop. I think I said DC is all about theatrical posturing all to
the time. And for once the designated fall guy for the Stupid Party used political ju jitsu on the rat turd party and flipped the dynamic. Not that the Stupid Party seemed to revel in their enemy’s distress. They were far to busy putting on their stuffed shirts to appear officially grave and full of gravitas as they made haste to distance themselves from the guy who saved theif rancid bacon
Now the leftards won’t like the NRA anymore;-}
Let’s recall that LTC North is a decorated Vietnam veteran with two Purple Hearts. ............... Did they change his personality and create the necessary veritas?
YUP.
I Corps. Phu Bai.
Welcome home, Marine.
I guess Uncle Ted is just too controversial.
Great choice.
He has warm, live fingers. :)
Yeah. Hogg can find another booger man.
LOL! I meant NRA president. I know Nixon was POTUS at the time.
I Corps. Khe Sanh.
68/69
SEMPER FI
Glad you made it back to the WORLD, BROTHER.
No words are adequate for you guys and I humbly mean that.
Glad you made it back to the World, too, Brother.
Where is Hogg? He hasn’t been getting much face time lately.
Ha! Lurch has THREE purple hearts! And a silver star, too. Quite an accomplishment for three months in country./s
