Was his great uncle really in the Army?

A poster here: http://boards.historychannel.com/thread.jspa?threadID=510002550 says the great uncle was in the Navy, but doesn’t explain how he found the name of the great uncle and how he got the military info on him. not sure he is right. Also, if there is more than one great uncle, that could explain the problem of how a Navy guy was at the liberation of the camp. it was the other uncle or maybe the uncle’s cousin?

The lowness of this was not in the error but in the crass attempt of Obama to boost himself by his grandfather's WWII service.

This is acute since Obama blithely ignores the liberation of millions of Iraqis and Afghans by the men and women of the U. S. Armed Forces and those of allied nations - except to obliquely condemn it and attempt to reverse all that has been accomplished by great sacrifice.

The barbarity and slaughter of the Islamic terrorists/fanatics even surpass those of the Third Reich, as hard as this is to first conceptualize - something obviously beyond Obama’s and Michelle's world of “I, me, and my.”

Finally, we are reminded again, through this episode, of Rev. Wright's rabid condemning, slandering, and cursing America for all that it is and has been (including being a liberator of African-Americans.)

Check out post 36 on this thread. There all all the links including the Obama family tree, Kansas WWII registration, and Military DB records. It was at this point that not even the handler spin was adding up.

"I had an uncle who was ... part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps," Senator Obama said.

Unlike Barry, I really did have an uncle who Liberated a concentration camp. In fact he was part of the first American unit to liberate the first camp we found - Ohrdruf. And the unit was the 4th Armored Division, part of George S Patton's, 3rd US Army. (Ohrdruf was so sickening, Patton could not go in at first)

And this was after the 4th Armored had relieved (saved their butts really), the 101st Airborne Division at the place called Bastogne, in that thingy called the Battle of the Bulge.

And that uncle of mine was Tank Commander, Sgt., Michael L. O'Connor who raised my like a father after mine (that drunken pos) left us when I was five.

So Barry, piss off on the war stories, okay.

Btw, the History Channel Bloggers are doing some digging. It seems that the person Barry named enlisted in the US Navy a good month or so after Dec 7th.

"Yesterday he mistakenly referred to Auschwitz instead of Buchenwald in telling of his personal experience of a soldier in his family who served heroically," said campaign spokesman Bill Burton.

What kind of idiot confuses Auschwitz and Buchenwald???? A neighbor tried to defend Obama and said something about McCain confused Shiites and Sunnis and that somehow that's worse - I seriously doubt McCain confused Shiites and Sunnis, but even if he did, I don't see how it's worse.

:’) There are people out there who think the US entered WWI because of the sinking of the Lusitania, despite the fact that the Lusitania was sunk in 1915, Wilson ran for reelection on the slogan “he kept us out of war” while preparing to send troops, and the US didn’t join until 1917. Wilson asked Congress to declare war nearly two years after the sinking. :’)

Worse than Obama’s gaffe (which is really just some lie he’s been telling for years, but finally got called out on it, then tried the old soft shoe to get out of it) was O’Reilly’s claim that US troops massacred German troops at Malmedy. O’Reilly should have been forced out of the so-called profession of journalism after that one.
