Remember being told that Hagel is a republican....even a bit conservative?

The lies just keep coming from the Ministry of Truth

Yeah I do. Remember he voted against the war, and I believe he was the only Republican in the Senate to do so. This was probably the reason that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave chose him, other than that he voted for 0bama

A “republican” who votes for the socialist opposition, talks like the socialist opposition, and thinks like the socialist opposition....logic demands that he be labeled a bit conservative.

Amazing. And they get away with it.

Ansel, I’m sorry. As an old Navy Security guy, I learned a long time ago to ferret out bs from statements that are like, “You really don’t need to worry about this, as you don’t know anything about this.”

I have personal knowledge of great Airborne people. Starting with one of my dad’s first cousin, an Airborne trooper in WWII, who returned from Europe with a metal plate in his head and metal rods in his legs. One of my cousins who served as Air Born in Korea. Both of these guys were great soldiers and would not have been good care givers. In fact they would have been at peril in Africa in Ebola Obozo’s Africa Corps fighting Ebola.

This summer we lost a good friend, who was Airborne and served 3 tours in Nam and 25 years as a frontl ine Deputy sheriff in tough county. He was one hell of a soldier and would have been at peril in Africa in Ebola Obozo’s Africa Corps fighting Ebola.

During my 70 plus years I have met and known a lot of Air Borne guys, who were great soldiers and would have been losers in Ebola Obozo’s Africa Corps fighting Ebola.

I can seen Sea Bees and army engineers setting up the hospitals.

Below is one of our own, xzins, here on Free Republic with his concerns re sending our Airborne to serve in Ebola Obozo’s Africa Corps fighting Ebola.

“I have a Screaming Eagle patch from 326 Engineer days long, long ago. At that time, I also covered the ADA and the Med Battalion.

My opinion...dated though it might be...

We’re going to get some our troops infected while we’re in Africa. A light infantry, air assault division is not designed to fight epidemic.

In fact, they’re trained in a chem/bio/nuke method that prefers AVOIDING contaminated areas and deals with contaminated areas only if placed in the middle of such an area by direct enemy action.

There is absolutely no training on intentional, proactive work within a chem/bio/nuke area. It’s all about surviving and getting the hell out of there.

I truly believe Obola has signed the death certificate of many of the finest air assault troops in the world.

I was Airborne myself, my step brother and I went through jump school separated by months, the 101st isn’t Airborne anymore and hasn’t been for many decades, and that has nothing to do with anything, anyway.

The 101st soldiers are going to be the Headquarters element

The 101st will supply 700 soldiers to what will be 3 to 4 thousand, they are half of the first 1400, (the other 700 being mostly engineers).

“About 300 of the troops from the 101st Airborne will come from the division headquarters, and they will serve as the Joint Force Command for the mission.”

“A 101st Airborne press release issued Tuesday evening stated the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Headquarters, Fort Campbell, will deploy as the Joint Force Command for Operation United Assistance in Monrovia, Liberia.
“Operation United Assistance is a critical mission,” said Maj. Gen. Gary J. Volesky, commander of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). “We will coordinate all of the Department of Defense resources in Liberia to support USAID and the government of Liberia to contain the Ebola virus and ultimately save lives.”

Thanks for your service and feedback.

I'm still concerned about your Air Borne brethren.

The 101st isn’t Airborne, that ended during the Vietnam war, they are allowed to use the name as tradition.

Not true. I just enrolled in the 101st Airborne Seals Explosive Ordinance Division Danger Strike Force Nuclear Submarine Weapons Division as a Colonel Captain 1st Class.

Here I am modeling my uniform. They give you lots of medals just for joining.

That guy had to retire 3 years early because the weight of his medals had caused a spinal inflammation that became chronic.

The globalists (NWO, illuminati, whatever) never weaponize bugs they dont have vaccine / cure for.

I do not believe Barak Hussein Obama was ever a U.S. citizen.
I do not believe that is his real name.
I do not believe his - um - mate - is a woman.
I do not believe the girls are his. They resemble the daughters of Malcolm X.

There are net rumors of Obama divorce.

If we had an uncorrupt congress (stop laughing) - Obama would be hung for HIGH TREASON. I will spare you the Bengazi facts buried deep.
