“Our servicemen are still great.
WWII did not have a Jane Fonda, she would have been shot or hung as a traitor.
How many papers, radio or congress critters took the part of the enemy?”
And there in lies the point. We have the men to fight the war but winning a war that big takes more than soldiers. It takes everyone at home pulling hard in one direction too. I don’t know if we would have that anymore

I just got done reading Flyboys, the story of Bush and the guys that attacked Chichi Jima. It is a fabulous story. We are truly lucky that Poppy Bush lived to fight another day-- 8 of his shipmates met terrible ends on that island.

wasn’t that a gruesome story? That opened up a whole new facet of the Pacific war I never knew.

Blackie was the liberal’s worst nightmare. His act spawned two great presidencies.

We need to start running traitors out of town on a rail or tar and feather these type of scum.

Pleasant Valley Rd., the area the BLM wanted to close off to shooters. Thanks to BIll Sali and Butch Otter, they didn't.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Damn BLM. That particular area is not any more than a few miles from my house, out by the Penitentiary.

In Idaho Statesman today:
Nat Adams, a prominent Boise architect and World War II hero, died early this morning following a short illness.
A memorial service tentatively is planned for Friday or Saturday at All Saints Episcopal Church, 704 S. Latah. The church was one of more than 700 buildings Adams and his associates designed.
His projects included Bronco Stadium and the former J.R. Simplot residence, which will be Idahos next governors mansion.
Adams, 86, was awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses as a Navy fighter pilot in WWII.
Among other things, he helped save the life of future president George H.W. Bush.
Adams was featured in Tim Woodwards Monday column, which family members read to him before he died.
