Dad was a line chief with the 136th, (Niagara Falls), New York Air National Guard. They were flying Huns, (F-100 Super Sabres)out of Tuy Hoa. Whether I was on the ground or in the air, (spotting naval gunfire, sub unit 1, 1st ANGLICO), I knew that when I heard callsign TACO that relief was just a few minutes away.
Tuff boy Cash and Kerry can kiss my NYANG Brat A$$ with his stories about how the Guard doesn't matter. I watched my old man walk on and off active duty all his professional career, WWII, Korea, Cuban Crisis, VietNam, and when they went to competition at Nellis AFB they left the AF regulars in the dust.
I dare him to walk up to my CMSGT brother-in-law with the NJANG Jersey Devils, (177th FW), and tell him that they are nothing special.
How can anyone with any knowledge of what the Guard and AirGuard have done for this country put up with this $hit?
His record of treason and treachery after his separation from active duty needs to be hand delivered to every active duty, Guard, AirGuard, and Reserve unit, as well every post/detachemnt of the DAV, VFW, Legion, and Marine Corps League in the USA.
I got my bumper sticker this morning, it will be on my car for the ride home.
In God We Trust…..Semper Fi!
You sure can learn a lot here on FR...someone on radio or TV made a good point today about ANG folks who actually served with President Bush "coming forward" to attest to the fact, just to prove he was where he said he was...as
if!!...yeah, let's have W's fellow ANG be personally ripped and trashed, too...
I would love to see the rest of the diverse ANG vets and all other sensible people rip and trash Kerry (politely, of course) though...and I'm only talking about him yammering and hammering about service in Viet Nam. The more I read, the more I know what a creep this guy is...it's not simply any "philosophical difference", either...
Interesting point also heard...McCain was in the Hanoi Hilton at the very time Kerry was testifying before Congress on how American soldiers were rapists, psychopaths and murderers. I wonder how McCain feels about that??? I'm sure he doesn't want to talk about it, and I'm no fan of his in any case, but if he's going to go on and on about CFR, maybe he ought to have a word to say about "campaign candidate reform", too...time for a brief reprise of the "Straight Talk Express" re: your fellow Senator...
