Awesome story.
June 6th, 2007 at 3:44 pmGlad that happend-good story for today. Thanks to all who serve
June 6th, 2007 at 4:42 pmIn reference to General Patton’s comments about cowards and breeding, I think the exact opposite happened after Vietnam and from there’s where all of our problems stem. The cowards were able to evade the draft and otherwise any serious duty, and then came home - or never left - and bred more cowards. Meanwhile, the brave men went to fight, and died, while the cowards stayed here and turned the fickle masses against them. Now, a generation later, we are seeing the fallout from this mass acceptance of weakness. I believe the younger people of this country - those who are able to overcome the brainwashing in schools - are able to recognize the consequences of this cowardice and are beginning to rebuild the foundation of American strength: The will to fight harder, nastier and longer than the stupid bastard who takes a swing at us.
June 6th, 2007 at 4:56 pmOne more thing:
To all those who are fighting and serving all over the world, Thank You, and see you soon.

June 6th, 2007 at 6:36 pmYour post is about right except that there was a generation preceeding the VietNam war that came into academia and poisoned the youth of that day by pushing the communist line and that of retreat.Never forget that the comminist line was pushed when the US was engaging with the North Vietnam communist regime, thats when the origional moonbats started chanting the hoho hochi mins gonna win.Thats when the shooting should have started there in the US to clean out the traitors and the communists, now I feel its too late they have infiltrated politics with their own pernicious brand of disloyalty to their country.
Alot of those draft-dodgers went to college to avoid war, many of them are still ‘teaching’ to this day.
My brother was going to film school in Scottsdale, AZ. He said the students were encouraged to use the medium (movies, television) to promote their political ideas. Of course, if your ideas arent very left; you get bad grades.
Hollywood has been turned into a platform for liberal education. This is nothing new, its been happening pretty heavy since the early 90’s. Movies like the recent ‘Day after Tomorrow’ are trying to be subtle lectures on why Conservatives are destroying Gaia Mother Earth. The Battlestar Galactica series was just an excuse to put our imaginary problems and atrocities into a futuristic setting. V for Vendetta was blatant Terrorist propaganda, and it just seems that the mainstream American entertainment industry is getting worse and worse.
June 7th, 2007 at 1:45 amIn the ’60’s and ’70’s those that are what you describe, FH, were the parents of those that you seem to be describing. Those of then did this www.hnn.us/articles/31400.html. Their children are taking their cue from their parents.
June 7th, 2007 at 2:46 amPatton was something else. Helluva commander. He use to say that he’d “rather have the Germans in front of hin than the French behind him.”
Never a dull moment with him. I don’t think he could have handled today’s P.C. MSM. Although he might have adopted Gen Honnere as his PAO. And then go out and tell the entire MSM that they’re “stuck on stupid”.
But I digress, great speech. Nice to read those words again.
And Kudos to the WWII collector who helped the family of a member of the Greatest Generation reunite at least a part of him with his family.
