No, the point is that many are LITERALLY phony troops. Rush wasn’t disparaging the service of actual troops; he was accusing seminar callers of falsely claiming to be troops. Whether the previous caller was phony or not, Rush couldn’t know, and so he should be careful, but many so-called anti-war troops are simply liars.

Of course they are. Like John Kerry's infamous Winter Soldiers. Its was established many never actually served in Vietnam but the MSM used their lies back then to blacken the reputation and sacrifices of those who did serve their country in Vietnam. Its no surprise the Left's phonies also want to discredit the reputation and sacrifices of those now serving our country in Iraq.

I guess I would have more to say about Military policy because I was an elisted Air Force guy for 4 years as compared to 50% of the congressmen and senators if I use their thinking.

Also, wasn’t John Kerry’s military service 40 years ago supposed to mean the was the best option for President? Then how can they support Hillary or Obama or Silky Edwards now?

Did Hillary serve?

"Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Pa., an Iraq veteran critical of the war, scolded Limbaugh in a Thursday column on the HuffingtonPost.com Web site.

LOL...talk about credibility.

I forget which radio show it is but the guy will ask the “vet” a couple questions about his unit, some of the weapons they use etc... Usually outs the fake vets.
The anti-war groups have a lot of fake vets who claim they have some standing because of their status.

How about that guy who wrote pieces for the NR but they were all figments of his imagination. Should we take his view points as legit.

Hey, just because you're a drug addict doesn't make you a bad person...

At least that's what the democraps tell us...

It's even on TV, so you just know it's "real"...

Sounds to me like Limbaugh meant the caller was a phoney troop, same as many callers pretending to be republicans are phoney republicans (not to be confused with Rinos.)

In fact, on C-Span, I’d say you get Democrats on the Republican call-in line and you get Republicans on the Democrat call-in line.

Any time they say, “I’s a republican, BUT.....” then you know it’s a “phoney republican.”

HeHeHe. Media matters has gone into melt down mode lately trying to justify that MoveOn.ogre ad. I sent them a note just a couple days ago concerning the reuters story that claimed that W had killed Mandela. Not a peep out of them. Imagine my surprise ;o) I guess media only matters to the dems on Bill and Hill’s plantation.

I was in the Air Force also. In that branch we all had an AFSC or Air Force Specialty Code. I was an AP so mine was 77110 to begin with. The first 3 digits are the job (A.P>) and the last 2 are the proficiency level, 10 being the lowest, followed by 30, 50 and finally 70.

I am positive all branches of the service have similar ratings. Few veterans would forget theirs. Hell, I even remember my serial number.

Oxycontin is highly over rated. I don’t see how anyone could get hooked on it.

I know enough when someone asks my MOS I would say,” No, I had a brain, I was in the Air Force!”

Serial Number....What years were you in?
When I was in it was just your SS#. No more serial numbers. It was too many numbers for the Army types to remember!

Exactly.

I lot of the guys in the tentacles of the shadow party vets groups (Vote Vets... remember Wes Clark, other generals anti-war ad, Truth Ops which reverted to IAVA, who just got Obama Girl and the rest to make an ‘I support the troops video’ to win everyone who doesn’t know their agenda... google them, you’ll see), some guys are washouts, have 4 months in. Some like Beauchamp, admittingly enlist with the plan to write this crap that gets troops killed; No conscience, no thought whatsoever for what comes after... just headlines, face time and a book, paid for by Soros and the Clintonistas.
