Wrong. The level changed when Veruca Murphy's daddy put together an ad showing Allen West, gold toothed and donning boxing gloves, punching an old lady in the mouth. Then, Veruca called West a 'coward'. Little Patty had this coming. Stings Patty, doesn't it?
Hmmm... a manly man. Don’t see many of those any more.
I wanna be an Airborne Ranger; I wanna live a life of danger.
Ding ding ding! We have a winner!
The Army is a military organization. The Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard(!) are naval organizations. Hence the name “US Naval Academy” and “US Coast Guard Academy”.
Air Force was created to not be a military organization, in order to be a more effective Air Force.
“ Hence the name, US Air Force Academy”.
Of course the Army had been running aviation with some degree of success since the Civil War. Thaddeus Lowe performed balloon reconnaissance during the Civil War, and performed the first overseas deployment in the Spanish American War. The Army air service observed the German preparations for the Marne offensive in WWI. The Army performed research on unmanned aircraft (The Kettering bug was an early attempt at a cruise missile) in the 1920s. The Army Air Force in WWII run the worlds largest air fleets.
Thanks for the explanation!
BTW, “Mayflower Madam” - are you a cousin?
I had many ancestors on the boat. ;o)
Murphy started it, says Michael Warren at The Weekly Standard. Last month, a Democratic ad portrayed West, "who is black, cartoonishly punching a white woman." Talk about a low blow.
That is by far the best political ad I have ever seen. In fact, I loved it so much I just made a nice donation to the man to help run it.
God Bless Lt. Col Allen West. I wish HE was the one running against the Zero.
As a 19-year-old freshman college student in 2003, Murphy was arrested outside a Miami Beach night club on charges of disorderly intoxication and possessing a fake driver license.
what you said
“- are you a cousin?”
Maybe; from William Brewster?
You are a very nice person, and I totally agree with you.
There is no other military org than the Arny.
However, the Navy, Marines and Air Force are no less.
Just different classifications.
Sorry to be so late with my reply. ;o)
