In the old days I called everybody listed as a Republican or Independent in Who’s Who in America, and for Fred I also used a “gadget” they supplied that linked to their site and let them know I was the initiator of the donation. I’d embed the gadget on websites and people would click in and donate. I don’t like social media and don’t use it.

Chuck was a pretty ‘fair’ hitting first baseman for the Brooklyn Dodgers and Chicago Cubs before picking up his rifle.

TRUST BUT VERIFY......

Hmmm... Boy they must have hyped him when he went into acting.

He had 1 AB with Brooklyn in 1949 @28 and hit into a DP.
He had 67 AB with Chicago in 1951 @30 and hit .239 with 2 hrs, 18 RBIs....

I realize I was only 10 when he came up but I do seem to remember him BUT guess it isn’t so...

Like Bob Newhart (Prof Neutron) said when asked a question about an event 20 years ago

‘What??? I wear a bracelet with my address on it so I can have someone make sure I get home’

will the Americans ever learn what the ‘Health Issues’ really are, will be be told that is personal and will not reveal..

One reporter stated he saw him and he looked rather healthy, did not seem ill...more lies from Obama and the thugs to cover for themselves...

Left his post. Lived with the notorious head chopping enemy for 5 years.

Is he looking for a WH staff position?

When we are so quick to judge the truth is the first thing that is lost in the zeal to convict.

****************

Your remark would make sense if Bergdahl were really going to be charged and brought to trial. Here, however, Bergdahl is allowing himself to be used as a poster child for the Obama administration, and those suspicious of the hostage trade are merely saying, “Not so fast.” You seem to want us to shut-up and not even do that.

People are already being swayed by his rank.
= = = = = = = = = = = =
That is ‘funny’ how the mind works.

In ‘Homeland’, SGT Brody sort of took a nose dive in my mind before it came out that he actually had ‘turned’...

Once I found out he had been captured as a PVT (or such) it completely changed my ‘opinion’ of him as they had been parading him around as a SGT.... It also made his ‘close association with the Officers suspect (in my 1950/60’s Military mind set)...

Prove what? He has already been declared ‘innocent’-—”served the United States with honor and distinction”. No investigation needed....his military comrades are just jealous liars. Too bad about those who gave their lives looking for this ‘honorable’ lad though.

I read where that Staff Sarge promotion is now put on a ‘HOLD’

For someone not liking the Military Service, he certainly has gotten pay raises...I didn’t think it was that easy to get promoted...

sure wasn’t 50 years ago...you had to beat your butt off working for a promotion.

Amid charges from his platoon that he is a deserter or even a traitor, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, nevertheless, is scheduled for promotion.

CNN cited a defense official saying he will be considered for promotion because he hasn’t been classified as a deserter.

But the official also said the Army needs to hear Bergdahl’s explanation of why he wandered away from base and how he got captured.

The trade speaks well of America's 's resolve to leave no soldier behind.

Wrong. He was left there for 5 years even though they knew where he was being held. They did not want to risk more casualties trying to get the traitor back. And Hillary the Great put the trade on hold a few years ago because she did not want it to affect the troop escalation into Afghanistan that mysteriously seems to have failed with the loss of hundreds of American lives. Are they purposely trying to get Americans killed or what ?

Well, of course. We’re just goofing on a not very good western.

I watch The Rifleman every Saturday morning. I have a little notebook where I jot down how many people Conners kills in every episode. 125 characters were shot down in the first season!

I don’t believe one is going to be court-martialed when your CC has declared via their spokesperson(Ms Rice) that one has ‘served the United States with honor and distinction’. Never mind what those who served with the ‘honorable lad’ have said. Never mind the FACTS—pro or con. The potential jury pool has been tainted. He is ‘innocent’. His CC has said as much. Who wants to jeopardize a possible military career/advancement by essentially calling your CC a liar.
