Now, someone who was ONLY able to become a pilot because his father was
an admiral and exerted his influence, smashed up five planes

and was captured by the enemy and held for five years is NOT a true "war
hero" in the true meaning to the term ...

... idiots abound, you can know them by the errors in the reasoning,
text and thinking ... idiots can't ... :-(

The Forrestal disaster was attributed to druggies. The enemy was no doubt
there on board. Many people have yet to figure out about the mechanics of
such disasters. I submit that there will be 2 sides to every story to come
out of the Vietnam war, and that sufficient truth is often left out to allow
that.

I wrecked a few cars before I learned how to drive. Have you ever been
tortured for information? or just for the hell of it? People who sit around
and talk about it over tea aren't fit to judge who a hero is but they are
often left to talk about it. Let's just call him "experienced". I really
don't consider Obama to be the "Black Messiah" either.

I feel that both candidates were potential disasters, showing the idiots had
prevailed before the election. The vote only served as an international
"poll" on how best to proceed to our doom. It seems the election has tried
to set the clock back to what it was before 9/11. Let's see what develops
this time around.
