So, tell me, why shouldn't I love the USA? Gimme just one reason! :-)

We elected Clinton as President - twice?

Howdy ma'am. I'm awake. Functioning is another story.

When I was active duty, I knew a civilian in the motor pool who had been at Edwards in his active duty days. His job had been runway maintenance. The crew apparently hated it when the XB-70 flew. It took quite some time to repair the runways.

Morning CT.

I don't remember hearing of Col. Urban until Micheal121 brought him to my attention.

Hi tanker. I hadn't heard of him until now. What a wonderful story of courage and heroism.

Someone notify john f*ng kerry that this is what a real hero is! This man didn't brag one iota nor seek out attention.

There have been a few swear words heard in my foxhole about John F'ng Kerry and the lamestream press coverup of his betrayal of his fellow Vietnam vets. The truth will get out to the people.

It is just so disgusting to see him on election nights putting on his war hero "band of brothers" act.

Because of heroes like Col. Kulinski, Pope John-Paul, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Curtain fell and Poland and America are now allies. There were plenty of times in the '70's and 80's when I didn't think I'd ever see this day.

One of the more shameful events in our history.

Interesting, isn't it? LTC Urban tied Audie Murphy for the most medals awarded in WWII and I hadn't heard of him either. Like real heroes, he just didn't blow his own horn.

I guess the good news is the POS has made Vietnam era service a campaign issue, so all his VVAW/Fonda antics are fair game. Plus the fact that as a senator he has opposed just about every bill veterans and patriots wanted. The media can cover for him for a while, but not for nine months.

I sure that's true, the media is gonna make him sound like he won the war all by himself.
