I wish the SwiftVets would start pointing out whenever the bronze star incident is being discussed, as it is now on Scarborough country, that the FRIGGIN RESCUE AND RECOVERY OPERATIONS FOR PCF THREE TOOK OVER A FRIGGIN' HOUR!!!!!

Somehow, people keep missing that or not bringing it up. If the WHOLE POINT of the MSM's counterattack is that there WAS enemy fire because the citations SAY so, the SwiftVet's should counter that 'We sat there on that spot giving first aid to the PCF 3 crewman and trying to keep their boat from sinking and we were there for over an hour doing so AND IF ANYBODY WAS SHOOTING AT US WE'D FRIGGIN' REMEMBER IT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Next friggin' question!

Van O'Dell as usual stayed the course determinedly and we can be proud of him. He calmly explained March 13 again and the cause was enhanced.

Did a great job.


And by the way, since when is an Admiral and General's word questioned by anyone. Non-military types do not understand that a flag officer word is his bond is never to be questioned, unless he has given a very serious reason to do so.

These talking heads just don't get it. When an Admiral says he was in charge of the boat, he doesn't need a report to back him up...

Odell did a terrific job but he did not have enough time. I think his explanation was dead on.

If McCaffrey is right, then THE focus of the Swiftie ads ought to be on the POW issue from now on. That one resonated with McCaffrey.

It is powerful, and indisputable.
