In his commentary on last night’s “60 Minutes,” Andy “Negro is a perfectly good word” Rooney said that today’s military is like the military during World War II, which was made of “losers” who did not complete high school.

“losers” who did not complete high school.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the military won't even accept 'drop outs' any longer and you have to get a special waiver if you have only a GED.. Most of the left has no idea what the modern military is like.. I wonder if they think we still stand line to line with the enemy and swing swords?

Andy is projecting, just like any good liberal. Stupid, old ba$t@rd.

He’s just a cranky old coot.

I would further qualify that remark and call him a cranky old coot LOSER.

"Isn't Rooney dead yet?"

Yes, but no one's noticed yet.

Apparently Rooney hasn't seen the statistics that show most of the military personnel are more intelligent than he is.

Folks at CBS simply hate America; thus by definition they especially hate those who defend it.

The men drafted in WWII were products of the Great Depression. They were largely poor, under-educated and poorly nourished. Many were rejected for service because of disease or, most commonly, poor dental health. My father joined the service in 1940 at age 20. He was 6 feet tall and 120lbs.

I have. I think they just take these old fools, give them the right meds and prop them up. He doesn't have a clue - not only about what he's saying, but that he's saying anything at all. He's kept on because he looks - and is - old and that somehow makes some people believe he's somehow smarter.

Does anybody REALLY care what Andy Looney has to say?
Does anybody actually listen to him!?

Did you actually watch the video before you posted this?

I know you kept the title the same as it is at the site; but this should have been flagged right in the text of your post that the title was misleading.

Reminds me of stripes. I like the movie, but it portrays recruits as just one step above roaches.

When are people going to grow a pair and call these people on their remarks? To hell with their phony outrage, they bitch no matter what we do so we might as well do the right thing!
