"Seeing that I'm very proud of a full head of hair at almost 60, I'm loathe to shave it."
LOL! Congratulations! But it wouldn't bother me, I like men with little to no hair ! )
"Besides, any man who claims medals for superficial wounds after seeing badly wounded,true American Heroes is a p*ssy and coward in my book."
There's a point I hadn't seen, it's almost as if it was so obvious that I didn't want to see it. Now that you've made it, my madmeter has gone over the top, as I consider the use the troops at WRAMH he claims to visit to make his points. I have a rather large pet peeve at anyone who uses the dead to score political points-to the point that I did not let go of local and corporate media and their public forum until such time as it was understood that that was viewed as dirty pool.
This, naturally, translates to an even larger pet peeve at anyone who uses the wounded to score political points. Which, naturally, translated to support for the FReepers who have been so gracious to counter-protest Code Pink every Friday at Walter Reed.
Murtha can visit these troops, and cry about it, and then use it for political gain, but wouldn't see his own NG unit off, visit, or welcome them home.
And WHY is he still yapping about his plan after a 403-3 vote????????????????????????????????????????????????????
NOT only did he not see the NG off (or welcome them home)....(and lie about Morale); but he and Moran thought they were in Iraq when they were in Afghanistan.
