Never Thought I'd See This Day

I can see why you were kicked out of the marines and banned from other boards.

Well earned...Spineless, mindless twit.

Since you obviously are not well acquainted with US history..."At long last...have you no decency?"

Was said to Joe McCarthy...to whom you bear a strong resemblance.

I have an Honorable Discharge from the USMC. Both of my ankles are messed up, I have chronic bursitus in both hips and I get zero benifits for it. Well earned indeed.

Take your blinders off. The freedoms you have exist because people where willing to fight, kill and die.

With this thread Im begining to see why you and Liz dont respect those serving as well as those who have served.

ETA: Im sure ES will make her case for my resemblance to McCarthy, otherwise she is as usual talking out of her back side.

[Karen]

Both of you, be nice. This is Pet Talk, no name-calling.

That anyone is feeling remorse publicly for the tragedy that was Mai Lai is indeed remarkable. I was a small child then, and didn't see much of the war coverage, but learned of it when I was older.

War wasnt served up on the radio or at the movies during the World Wars? Granted Im not old enough to even remeber the Viet Nam War, but didnt they have nightly news broadcasts and news reels at the movies during the WWs?

Vietnam was not a world war ,and yes they did show footage of WW2
at the movies.

Vietnam footage was shown on TV during nightly news. I saw it every
night. Check things out before you blabber on about stuff you know
nothing about.

Go talk down to somebody else.

I do know that every chance the liberal media got, they shoved the most horrible news possible down the publics neck during the VNW. Anything good our soldiers did in VN took a back seat to the absolute worst. We cant get real news on the TV anymore because of newscasters injecting their opinions into the news during Viet Nam.

During the World Wars, newscasters reported the news. During Viet Nam newscasters decided what was news and it has gone downhill ever since.

I understand that the lefties had a First Amendment Right to spit on our soldiers, that doesnt make it right. The soldiers yall spit on, made that Right possible.

Since we need to educate the uneducated...

Let's start with the conflict in Vietnam was not a war. A war needs to be declared as such by Congress. Which was never done.

Reporting of WWII was without bias? Oh please. Listen to Edward R. Murrow reporting from London and you will hear some of the best reporting ever to take place. Entirely biased...entirely partisan.

Whoever said it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought an idiot than to open your mouth and confirm it was talking to you blue!

Spitting on the military. Not me. But there were some bad guys who did some very bad things and never paid the price. They happen to wear a uniform.

The "media bias" has to be one of the biggest myths going. Was there censorship...you bet...can Americans handle the truth? I believe so. I believe the American public is intelligent enough - for the most part - to handle the truth -- good, bad or ugly. And make the decision accordingly.

And that is what happened with the Viet Nam Conflict. Once again...you "dont get it" (sic)

I guess Karen didnt get the memo from you that personal attacks are now OK.

So multiple nations attacking another isnt a war now? Sending our Dogs out against another country isnt an act of war? Semantics, you can go lay down.

Its fool, not idiot. Fool, thanks for trying to drag me down to your level.

Have you read "Bias"? It was written by a well known liberal, a newscaster and commentator. I trust him more then you.

So now you feel guilt for spitting on our Troops, the same people who gave you that Right.

The media bias was the worst thing to happen to our Troops in modern times. At least in the World Wars America didnt spit on their Service members the way yall do.

Go join Liz and go talk down to somebody else.

So did all of these physical problems result from the four months you were in the Marines?

Was that before or after you threw a food tray at an officer?

You post this stuff....

Thanks for paying for my MRIs, bone scans, CT scan and the numerous X rays as a result of those 4 months. I thank every American tax payer for NMC SD, they did a fantastic job. Thanks for my food and clothing for those 4 months. Thanksgiving at MCRD SD sucks.

I actually got gut punched buy one of my DIs. I did box the ears of another recruit though, allmost got CMed for that. In the end it was a medical discharge I got, cant be a Marine if you cant run.

Speaking of Officers.

On the Mairne Corps Birthday 1995, the officer in charge of us broke d!cks in the medical platoon gave us a great honor. He played the Marines Hymn on his bag pipes while we sang. The officer, DIs, and most of us broke d!cks all had LES. He thanked us for the heart and pride we put into the hymn.

You cant help but spit on people who have decided the American dream is worth something.

[Edwina's Secretary]

You are very welcome. That is what decent Americans...heck just decent people... do for each other. We don't ask...did you get hurt because you are clumsy or inept? Did you get sick because you engage in unhealthy habits?

We just consider adequate healthcare something everyone should have access to.

But back on topic. Today's paper has lots in it about the release of the Lockerbie guy by the government of Scotland. I think it was wrong - especially letting him return to Libya and giving Kadaffi something to brag about.

He was responsible for the murder of 270 people and was sentenced to life in prison.

Calley was responsible for the death of 500 and was sentenced to 3 years of house arrest.

You don't have to be embarrassed to admit you didn't know about
Vietnam. Just admit it or don't post anything as fact unless you can
back it up with facts.

LBJ said , when he lost support from Walter Cronkite, he knew he had
lost support of the people for this war. He was the first newscaster to
speak his honest feelings of what he saw & experienced while covering
the Vietnam war.

ETA: Im sure ES will make her case for my resemblance to McCarthy, otherwise she is as usual talking out of her back side.

I didn't intend to ...but since you asked....

Here you can find out who Joe McCarthy was.

As for your resemblance...one example...someone posted about their admiration for a guy who introduced dancing to Michael Jackson music to a prison in the Phillipines. You jumped all over her for not appreciating what a great thing this guy did. That was of course, the exact opposite of what she said.


Never let the truth or facts get in the way of a good attack!

As for it not being a war unless Congress declares it...check the US Constitution for that one.

The Boys are working really hard on this tonight! What mindless drizzle can we expect???

Face it, you hate the military and those that join up to serve. Your constant insults of those who have served or joined are proof enough.

We just consider adequate healthcare something everyone should have access to.

This thread isnt about Healthcare. Dont we have enough of those allready with out you mucking up other threads with your guilt and hatered?

Calley was responsible for the death of 500 and was sentenced to 3 years of house arrest.

This topic isnt about Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, and your paper sucks, he was released almost a week ago. The difference between the two is one has expressed guilt and remorse for what he did, and the other is treated as a hero. Guilt and remorse isnt enough for you though is it? You have to spit on him because he was in the military.

I allready agreed with you about Calley, more then once. Is that why you have been attacking and insulting me? Your ego cant take the fact that I agree with you on something?

You don't have to be embarrassed to admit you didn't know about
Vietnam. Just admit it or don't post anything as fact unless you can
back it up with facts.

Go lay down. You learned about Viet Nam from a media that hates our military, I learned about Viet Nam from our military.

LBJ said , when he lost support from Walter Cronkite, he knew he had
lost support of the people for this war. He was the first newscaster to
speak his honest feelings of what he saw & experienced while covering
the Vietnam war.

When Cronkite injected his opinion into the news he stopped being a newscaster.

I didn't intend to ...but since you asked....

Here you can find out who Joe McCarthy was.

Twit. I know who McCarthy is. The question wasnt who he was, but for you to expound on your comparison of him and I.

And since you didnt undersatand the word expound the last time I used it.

Perhaps you missed my apology for that. Of course you did, cant have that disrailing your argument.

Now, I know this may be hard for you, in 500 of your own words or less your comparison of me to McCarthy, or you are talking out you backside yet again.

Never let the truth or facts get in the way of a good attack!

If it works for Obama it also works for you. Got it.

As for it not being a war unless Congress declares it...check the US Constitution for that one.

Yes Viet Nam was a conflict constitutionally, but what do you thing the VC saw it as?

Yes thoughtfullness and thinking, try it instead of your sycophantic drivel.

war
–noun 1. a conflict carried on by force of arms, as between nations or between parties within a nation; warfare, as by land, sea, or air.

Oh Little Joe McCarthy...that is all the better you can do?

Let me guess...you have a paper right in your pocket...with the instances of ANYONE on PetTalk insulting soldiers!

Pitiful really!

But...very McCarthylike indeed! <<golf clap>>

I dont need a piece of paper on who has insulted soldiers, this thread says it all.

Is Stalin one of your heros?

Again you cant back up the McCarthy comparison. All you have is spit and hate.

[Edwina's Secretary]

And what do you have blue?

Certainly not anything resembling truth.
