Right Thing, or Right Stuff?

Chuck Yeager, American Hero. 95 years old and sh*tposting on Twitter.

Gotta love the guy!

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

That may be but I will believe the ‘asshole” over the lying lib any day.

[Telepathic Intruder]

THE RIGHT STUFF?

[eddie willers]

just watch the RIGHT THING

Just serendipity, but I get a list of books that have gone on sale each day for the Amazon Kindle.

Today, Wolfe's The Right Stuff was $4.99. I jumped on it to replace the hardcover "loaned" to someone decades ago.

[jazusamo]

Amen to that. Bump!

[Sans-Culotte]

The people who made this flick have “The Wrong Stuff”.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I had drinks with Bob and Tex one weekend years ago.All I can say is what a party. Good fun.Both were tops.

"People on the airshow circuit say that Yeager is actually a total a$shole, BTW."

I know Gen. Yeager and do not concur with that assessment.

[max americana]

YEAH LOL. I was thinking of the an R rated movie ...

[Drew68]

So much for watching that stinking movie!

Overwrought and melodramatic, the trailer gave me the impression it would be a turd.

[Hugh the Scot]

So what?

People have said the same about many people they’re jealous of.

[hadaclueonce]

See, I told you I was an Azz hole.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

No he was not.If he wants to be an asshole I say that he has earned the right.He was shot down and evaded capture by way of spain. He has the right stuff for sure.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Thats why they make such great axis partners.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Most of the movie industry is now dysfunctional to the point they can’t even tell a true story without loading it up with libtard messaging.

Here Chuck Yeager is sticking up for the good guys and someone sticks a shiv in him on the second comment. Based on gossip. Way to go.

Col Yeager was the commander of the B-57’s at Bien Hoa AB, RVN, when a chain reaction of explosions killed 26 Airmen and one Navy Pilot. He treated the lost airmen and families with respect.
