Good points all. Congress wastes taxpayer money investigating something that already has an obvious answer—hyperbole is an embarrassing part of war. Hearings aren’t necessary other than to cast the military in a bad light. Unless there was a sinister motive in Tillman’s friendly fire case, there’s no need to keep harping on it. His family pays no compliment to his sacrifice and theirs by accentuating the errors made instead of his voluntary sacrifice to be there. The Lynch situation was already clarified and doesn’t need reiteration.
Needless to say, we won’t have any hearings on the military’s accomplishments under extraordinary circumstances. Of course, even if Congress did that, the MSM wouldn’t bother to report it.
First...I don’t think this is a waste of tax-payer money. We are are on the tip of a huge iceberg here.
Second....I think the committee needs to bring up the topic of Captain America, and his recent death. I believe a massive conspiracy is at work here....where Marvel comics were taken over by evil Republican interests and perhaps even those DC comics folks....and Captain America....the only true hero in America was killed off. I believe the committee should bring in the Marvel crew, the Hulk, Batman, and maybe even that hot lusty gal Wonder Woman. I strongly suspect that Wonder Woman....an agent of the Republicans....was helping in the demise of Captain America. Only the truth powers of your committee can come to the proper conclusion.
Third....I believe that General Stonewall Jackson was not only killed by his own men during the civil war in 1863....but that a conspiracy was involved....where a certain private Rumsfeld was on duty that night, and eagerly shot the General....even after he repeated the proper password six times. I have been communicating with a fellow from Stone Mountain, Georgia...who says that the General was killed by right-wing extremists. General Stonewall Jackson....while not a hero....at least by your committee approval.....certainly needs to have the truth aired over who shot him and the vast conspiracy which engulfed the government....and eventually led to Donald Rumsfeld taking power in the pentagon.
Yes...here and now...the American anti-hero committee can fix and redo the history of this great nation. I’d also like to suggest a full review of Sgt Alvin York, the crossing of the Delaware, the Battle of Shiloh, the landing at Normandy, and perhaps even the supposed French assistance at the conclusion of the Revolutionary War. There are lots of events to keep our great congressmen and senators busy throughout the summer. Surely...we don’t want to raise real significant subjects like social security reform. So praise the good and magnificent warriors in congress who fight for our freedoms.
