King ChickenHawk Answers Questions From Brave Soldiers

Rearden Metal · Jul 5, 2006

Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:

I like your argument. Senators and representatives from the respective states of fallen soldiers have routinely attended funerals. I even recall Al Sharpton presiding over one.
The bottom line is, the "cowboy" president has a fundamental lack of understanding of what it is to "soldier" . He can't relate, which is why he found it so easy to risk thier (our) lives on a hunch. If he was the brave "leader" he hold himself out to be, he would have "nutted up" and shown up to a couple of funerals.

On a personal note, as a soldier, the hardest thing I've ever done is attend the memorial service of a fallen comrade in Iraq. This is why it is so easy to spot the posters on here who have never served. They talk as if war is a game, with no human toll. A solider will never speak with as much bluster as a chickenhawk. Never.

Oh, this is too obvious. You only posted that because you want hapaboy to ask if YOU have ever served your country.

...all so you can have the satisfaction of replying with "Please do not respond to my posts. Thank you." That sort of predictable (almost scripted) dialogue somehow gets you off, strangely enough.

So in other words, since Lincoln at Gettysburg, you've been able to document TWO military funerals during wartime attended by U.S. Presidents? Of course LBJ would have needed to do 40,000, because of his great job in Nam.......

Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:

"According to the Johnson Library, LBJ attended two funerals for soldiers who died during the Vietnam War."

"According to the New York Times, Jimmy Carter attended a memorial service for the soldiers killed in the failed rescue of America hostages in Iran in 1980."

"Ronald Reagan attended memorial services on several occasions for American soldiers."

"Bill Clinton attended a service in October 2000 in memory of the 17 sailors killed in the attack on the USS Cole."

Quote from tradermaji:

I thought we already won

Haliburton is making a ton of money from those IDIQ contracts, what else can it mean to win?

You'd have to ask Paul O'neil what a "win" was since he was there when the ChickenHawks were looking for ways into Iraq. Of course we can drink the Kool-Aid and read what the Politburo says is a win....

As I reflect back on the lies my recruiter told me, and watch as they are coming into the High School to "recruit" ( Con?) my son and the many boys I coached through little league the hair is standing up on my neck. A retired special forces friend of mine and I have actually half-jokingly threatened to meet them at the school house door with baseball bats. These are KIDS the chicken hawks are sending to die. Then they denigrate war objectors as "not supporting the troops". We ARE supporting the troops. The same way we would be supporting their 18 year old little asses by telling them not to drink and drive. Takes big strong men to "gung-ho" a bunch of kids to go die, and real billy bad asses to root them on from the comfort of their living room.

My recruiter was very honest, too bad yours wasn't.

What "lies" did he impart to you?

Touche'. "Lies" may have been a little stretch. He did , however, miscalculate what my college fund was going to be by $40,000. Accident? he also misrepresented several other components of my service. The re-enlistment NCO also tried to slip extension papers in a stack of forms "he needed" me to sign to transfer to So. Korea as if it was all formality. Don't think for a minute that these guys aren't salesmen. They are trained to "convince" young men to join. Enough so that a young man should have legal representation at enlistment.

You called him a 'drug addicted Jew' before. Why didn't you say 'wrong again, Jew druggy' or 'wrong again, you drug-addicted Jew'? Thought better of it this time, huh? Thought twice this time, did you? Basically admitting that you gave away a little too much the last time, right?

Oops!!!! OWNED AGAIN !!!!!!
