I never said he did. What he said:
"I didn't want to go to Europe to fight and die for what seemed to me to be somebody else's cause. ... I decided I must be a Concientious Objector."
Please cite my post for this. Thank you.
When and did you serve combat time?
Why is this relevant?
“Eye of the Storm”
“Eye of the Storm”
Died three years ago at age 91. He was in England staging for D-day. His sister in New Jersey sent him a letter and said his cousin was an Italian prisoner of war working on a nearby farm in England. My dad went to the farm, talked to the Sergeant in charge, took his cousin out for the night and brought him back in the morning.
They exchanged letters the rest of their lives. We met the cousin in Sicily in 2002. He told us to speak English because he remembered English. Not too common in a small Sicilian city.
My dad was D-Day plus 6. Went through dance and into Berlin. After the war they sat on the beach in Cannes waiting for the merchant marines to settle their strike and take theme. Dad could not get leave to visit Sicily. Sat on the beach for 90 days.
If you can’t prove he wasn’t a vet, the rest is superfluous. He covered bombing runs and concentration camps. What did you do during World War II that you can belittle his service?
Just get off of it and admit I was correct. He was a vet.
If you saw Andy’s last session on 60 minutes, you saw the real Andy Rooney, a crotchety nasty angry old man, bitter and unsocial.
John Kerry was a decorated vet. Happy now?
Please cite my post where I belittled his service as a correspondent in WWII.
C’mon you can provide a longer list than that. I see you’re winding down and have decided you can’ prove Rooney was not a vet. That’s all I’ve said. Last word to you, you seem to need it more than I do.
and?
Rooney:
“No one dared say so but there were a lot of good things about communism and socialism that they were not willing to admit. ... Communism got a bad start in the only start it had when it became associated with the dictatorial regime of Joseph Stalin. Hitler did the same thing for National Socialism that Stalin did for Socialism. The two economic systems never had a chance.”
Listening to the Denver game.
Already have. See post 134. Answer the questions and points in it if you have the cojones.
Why is this relevant?
I already explained that in post 175. Now, let's hear it:
When and where did you serve combat time?
bfl
How about pretty much every post in this thread? Grow up, punk.
Me (your edit): Where in that book did he say his motivation to fight in WWII
What was that you said about misrepresenting posts, again?
I never said he did. What he said:
But he wasn't a CO when he got to the war, so who gives a flip? Does this mean he never went on the Wilhelmshaven mission? Oh, and tell me...
When and where did you serve combat time?
Oh, and by the way...
When and where did you serve combat time?
Google is your friend ...
Also, why didn't you respond to my question about Pyle and Murrow? Too tough to answer?
I did.
Oh, and by the way... When and where did you serve combat time?
Why is this relevant. You don't have any combat time. Why is this important to you?
No misrepresentation. I stated that he never said he had any motivation to fight. That also means he had no motivation to fight Hitler.
