82nd Airborne Vet With Iraq War Vet Son Says “Worm” Olby Should STFU - With Video
This is from a Veteran of the 82nd Airborne’s blog called The Real Revo. His son is an Iraq War Veteran, and he unloads on the ever-idiotic Keith Olbermann.
This is beautiful, and full-on fucking American…
Here is a little about me… I am a veteran. I was an infantryman and a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division. A quarter century ago I took part in the invasion of Grenada. More relevant; I am the father of a United States Army Ranger who served in the 1/75 Ranger Battalion. Adam served from 2003 to 2007 in the U.S. Army with three tours spanning 14 months in Iraq and one tour in Afghanistan of six months.
On Thanksgiving Day, 2005, I was in Guam with my wife and youngest son when I received a call on my cell phone from one of my oldest friends. Kevin is an officer in the Army and on that day he was serving in a SOCOM unit in Iraq. I thought it was a Thanksgiving call but he seemed quite serious. Almost immediately he gravely said, “Adam has been hurt.”
I remember that moment like it just happened. I was in the backyard of the parents of a friend who had invited us to Thanksgiving dinner. My friend’s mother, a Japanese immigrant, was proudly showing my wife and me her garden. Her husband, children and their spouses were all around. I dropped to my knees. This was “The Call.” The yard swirled and my wife knew what it meant. She screamed “What?!” and ran to me. Kevin continued, “Adam was wounded on a combat assault. He fell of the fast rope at least 40 feet. Both is legs and heels are broken. He was medevaced to my location and I met him when they brought him in.” I didn’t know what to say. He went on, “He will be transported to Germany and from there to Walter Reed in D.C. He will be okay.”
My son did recover. Six months later he returned to Iraq and to his job of kicking in doors and dragging jihadist scum out of their holes. I went back to lying awake at nights waiting for another, far worse, call. The call never came and my son is now out of the Army and in college. He definitely “saw the elephant.” He has experienced what it means to have men desperately try to kill him and fail. He has experienced killing up close and personal. He has been wounded and recovered to fight again. He is proud of his service and I am proud of him.
So watch Olbermann below and think about my experience as you listen. This pompous, melodramatic piece of shit apparently believes he speaks for parents like me and my wife. This tick, this parasite, believes he is qualified to speak for the parents of the soldiers killed and wounded in battle. He is as wrong as he can possibly be. He dooesn’t speak for soldiers and he sure as hell doesn’t speak for the parents of soldiers.
Olbermann, if by some chance you read this, understand me well: You sicken me you worm. I wouldn’t piss down your throat if your black heart was on fire. You don’t speak for me. Here is another insight for you prick: I do care about the president’s golf game; at least I care more about it than I care whether you live or die. You aren’t qualified to tell me what it is to be a soldier. You aren’t qualified to tell me what it is to be the parent of a soldier. You aren’t qualified to open your mouth and opine on this topic.
Now, having said that, watch Olbermann act like an idiot below. I only made it to about 1:30 before I shut the ass down. If you can go further, you have a stronger stomach than mine.
Here is Olby’s piece of shit, holier than thou, rant…typical Olbermann, no wonder MSNBC has no viewers.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
Man that guy is an ass. he does a news show for one fucking hour a day (a very bad news show with almost a zero rating i must add)
And he thinks he can talk down on our President, whos job never ends. 24 hours a day, making the toughest decisions. most we will never even hear about. this guy doesnt even deserve to kiss Georges Bush’ ass, let alone talk so negatively about him.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:10 amSick mother fucker
May 16th, 2008 at 8:14 amI was tricked, Bash! I thought Olby had actually let that Vet onto his show, so I watched the entire clip to the end! High hopes apparently, we all know Olby went let a real vet onto his show. Now I need to go vomit.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:17 amOlbermann is not very intelligent man. MSNBC is not a very good cable news outlet (hence their lower than whale shit ratings). How long till GE dumps this sack of shit from their portfolio?
May 16th, 2008 at 8:18 amOlbermann…what a fucking moronic ass-wipe. Someone definitely pissed and defecated in the gene pool to produce this mental midget.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:47 amWow, this soldier had some real tolerance and made it to 1 minute 30 seconds! I was clawing to shut it down at the minute mark.
Welcome to the new journalism, taught by the likes of Joseph Goebbels. I wonder if they take a class like propaganda 101.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:49 amI am RD Walker, the vet that posted that. I also made this additional comment on therealrevo.com, I thought I would add it here too…
You know what pisses me off the most about Olbermann and his ilk? They describe soldiers as children and victims. My son is no child and he is not a victim. He enlisted in the Army as the 3rd ID rolled across the berm between Kuwait and Iraq in 2003. He volunteered to be 11B – infantry. He volunteered to be a paratrooper. He volunteered to be a Ranger. That is four times he consciously made the decision to be a high caliber trigger puller. He didn’t do it out naiveté either. I was an infantryman and I was a paratrooper. I spent four years on active duty and ten years in the reserve components. My son grew up hearing, knowing and understanding what it means to be a member of the “poor, bloody infantry.”
In fact, I told him if he wanted to serve, consider the Coast Guard and I told him why. I told him as a grunt he would spend many nights sleeping with his head in the mud. He would torture his body and torture his mind. He would be called upon to kill and men would try desperately to kill him. He went anyway.
He sailed through basic, AIT, jump school and RIP. He did is first tour in Iraq as a “shitbird”, a member of a Ranger Battalion who has not been to Ranger School. That meant that, in addition to his combat duties, he got all the shit details such as doing the laundry for his squad. When he returned from that tour, he sailed through Ranger School and was soon promoted to sergeant E-5.
This man is not a child and he is not a victim. He is a warrior who made his own decision with open eyes. He enlisted in a time of war to serve in the most elite infantry regiment in the world. He knew what he was doing and he did it knowing the potential consequences. Nobody “sent” him to Iraq, he volunteered. He could have gone to college; I would have paid for it. He could have got a job, I would have arranged it. He wanted to serve. He wasn’t “sent to Iraq to die”, either. He wasn’t sent and he didn’t go to die. He volunteered and he went to serve his country.
When Olberman and his ilk refer to men like my son as children, he exhibits a profound combination of arrogance and stupidity. When he refers to men like my son as victims, he denies them credit for volunteering, serving and fighting of their own volition. These men deserve respect for volunteering to do the work most would be terrified of. They aren’t victims, they are warriors. Olbermann wants to strip them their status as warriors and diminish them to poor, hapless victims. It makes me sick.
May 16th, 2008 at 9:22 amKeith Dildoman is still on tv?
Everyone watches Hannity.
May 16th, 2008 at 9:27 amI can’t listen to that prick Olberman…but to watch his moronic expressions with the sound turned off is quite entertaining. Someday KO will meet someone who will KO him!
May 16th, 2008 at 10:01 amMuch respect to you and your son. You have my thanks. My family has had a man in the 82nd since they weren’t Airborne(Grandfather WWI) and my brother was in Grenada like you. I hang my head in shame for not upholding the tradition but thank God that there are men with the stones to do what I couldn’t. Welcome to Dollard Nation.
May 16th, 2008 at 10:37 am“…How long till GE dumps this sack of shit from their portfolio?…”
GE is selling its appliance division so it can keep NBC and and MS-NBC and keep selling sophisticated componentry to terrorist regimes.
May 16th, 2008 at 10:52 amBoycott GE.
It would appear Olby believes he is in line for Best Actor.
Nice little rant; no doubt Olby feels he is a career threat to the likes of Dennis Miller and Denis Leary.
Nothing like fixating on a puny little remark about why GWB stopped playing golf and spinning it into empirical proof that the president is a Satan worshipper. Shows how Obly spent no time sleeping in English Composition 101.
There have been times that I have been outraged by various members of the media; this isn’t one of them. Much as I find Olby contemptible, he is here merely showing what a supreme pack of dunces he believes his audience to be. He may be an asshole, but to deliver such a tirade filled with foundationless hot air, all I can say is that Keith Olberman should pack up and move to Hollywood. His rhetoric is without reason and his passion without purpose. This little delivery of his is one tiny step above dropping his pants and farting on TV.
…oh, and yes, he is a fucking douchebag.
May 16th, 2008 at 11:14 amI sent a scathing email to GE, the parent company of PMSNBC. I can not fathom the rational of sick individuals like this who would equate our heros to murderers. This man does not belong to this country. If people like him are so disgusted then get the fk out of this country and go live in your dream world called North Korea.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:01 pmgood god, i wanted to pull that piece of shit olbermann thru the monitor, rip out his eyes and skull fuck him!!
May 16th, 2008 at 12:06 pmTo RD Walker
Thanks for saying what I think every day! My daughter and son-in-law served 5 tours between the two of them and Joe is heading back with his reserve unit. They are both college educated and not the idiots that John Kerry and Stephen King portray. It sickens me when I hear these talking ass wipes take swipes at our military. If they were in some other country they wouldn’t be able to spout out this garbage. God Bless you and your family Mr. Walker and keep up the good work you do on behalf of our sons and daughters who so proudly serve this country that I love.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:30 pmOlberman is just plain silly. By the way, notice how he’s setting up McCain for future personal attacks.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:46 pmRD, for what it’s worth, most people respect the troops, even here in NYC. They don’t regard them as morons or children. They may think the war is wrong (I don’t, but most here do), but they don’t subscribe to the idiot view that the soldiers are tools. They may hate the President, but they definitely don’t hate the troops.
The impression I’ve gotten in a place as liberal as this, is that people regard them as being very brave and capable. If that’s true here, then it’s probably true everywhere else in the country.
Mind you, I’m not talking about the asshole population of the city (aging hippies and activist college students), I’m just speaking about the average person who works for a living.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:53 pmOlbermann is a dull stupid fatuous person. Look closely. I think he was stoking it under the desk while he was on his cry-baby rant.
What a loser…
May 16th, 2008 at 1:34 pmRead the article, I cannot click on Oberman, if he is on football in the fall, I give up football on those nights. I pray to God that that Asshole has a coronary or an elephant turd falls from the sky and causes a slow painfull death.

Thank you and thank you to your son too. 
Screw Keith Overbite 
May 16th, 2008 at 2:56 pmHeh, quality rant.
/salute
May 16th, 2008 at 2:58 pmthank you to both you and your son for serving
May 16th, 2008 at 4:04 pmTom- Olby does let vets on his show. Think pretty boy Wes Clark and dick licker Jon Soltz.
May 16th, 2008 at 4:23 pmkeith can suck the rancid spewy out of my… well, Old Glory here.
May 16th, 2008 at 4:32 pm1:11
May 16th, 2008 at 4:37 pmDamn, you guys made it longer than I did. Only got to 1:03. Queef Olberputz has always been a major douchebag, but it seems like he is become more and more unhinged as of late. Why MSNBC subsidizes this horseshit is just beyond me.
Oh, and UberQueer isn’t fit to eat the corn out of Bush’s shit, let alone criticize him. I cannot begin to fathom the level of self-righteousness this asshole must possess to get on TV and claim to speak on behalf of our troops as if he honestly gives a shit about any of them or their opinions.
Ah well. Not worth getting mad over. You can see this asshole childishly ranting “I’m angry, and dammit, my opinion is important” when no one gives two shits what he has to say. I’m sure UberQueer would love to compare ratings with Bill O’Reilly.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:53 pmCan’t stand He-who-has-no-ratings. I’d rather have a tooth pulled with pliers than listen to that tard rant.
May 16th, 2008 at 7:13 pmRD Walker
Thank you for raising such a fine son. And thank you for your past (and continuing) service to your country. I admire and respect you and your son as much as I loathe and disrespect Olberman.
I shall sleep safely in my bed tonight because of the courageous selfless and mind boggling sacrices of men like you and your son.
May 16th, 2008 at 7:29 pmRock on Keith -
How is Bush handi-cap? I mean his gold handi-cap
