#2 has nothing to do with a hero’s death.

Nice rewriting of the the facts. Iraq was a big problem under Husseign. He murdered his people and took over another country. He refused to follow his agreed surrender terms and funded suicide bombers in Israel. Offered something to the tune of $50,000 per bombing to the families. He was a cancer. He and his sons were vicious. He was declared an enemy by three consecutive presidents of both parties. Removing him was not a feud between families.

Ya know .....

FWIW, there’s a lot of folks that raised a whole lot of heck about a little country named Vietnam, and why we shouldn’t have gone there, at that time, too.

The difference between some raghead dictator in some country amidst an ocean of sand, and Vietnam, was that there was a larger game behind Vietnam, called stopping the growth of Communism.

Nowadays, with self-avowed Communists in the seats of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as dreamers thinking they can become president, some folks just don’t think of the 50,000 plus sacrificed souls that stopped that Communist growth.

The tinhorn iraqi should have been left to the Mossad, which would have done it quicker and quieter than we did.

Still not worth it. And we should save that discussion for another thread.

Navy SEAL Charles Keating IV gave all for his country, may he R.I.P.


.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.
The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic
feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing which is more important than his own personal safety,
is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless
made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)

My heart goes out to every single American serviceman forced into a situation where he is surrounded by Muzzies, unable to discern friend from foe. WHAT A FRIGGIN' NIGHTMARE. FUBO.

American troops should be unleashed to FIGHT, not "ADVISE". American troops should be surrounded by other American troops, not turncoat ragheads hellbent on killing us for their pedophile idol!

Keating Jr. was a hero. God bless him.

Terrorists seem to think Iraq is important, whether there was WMD or not. I don’t think these animals are going to stop until they are all dead or we are. Iraq itself is important strategically itself as well.

Every President going back to Reagan and before knew exactly how evil Saddam was. But he was a useful counterweight to Iran.

I remember him from my daughter’s track meets. She was a pole vaulter and he was a runner at competing high schools. He had a killer smile and just seemed like a happy guy. So sad to hear this. RIP, sailor.

Track is such an honest sport. It breeds people with at least one streak of reality in their lives.

I said nothing bad about the Navy Seal, nor his death.

I DID say that his grandad, if you do your research, was one of the theiving bassards of THE KEATING FIVE, to include Sen. John McCain, and their theiving money scandal, by which they DID steal my money, and i scriptually have no love for them!!
