for Karma Police (member Since Dec 29, 2008): You sir/madam, ARE A FRACKING IDIOT. DO NOT bring past politics into a tribute thread to one of our fallen heroes. You probably never even served, which means you're not only an IDIOT, but a shirker as well. Take your crap off this thread and discuss it elsewhere. Let those of us who HONOR our fallen heroes have a politics free thread.

Foor DJ Taylor: you were too easy on this dirtbag, aka Karma Police, you should learn to be more forceful in future.

Toward FREEDOM!

I didn’t serve in Vietnam, not because I’m and idiot, or because I’m a shirker, but because it happened 20 years before I was born. Seeing stories like these breaks my heart. Our government did not support our troops’ efforts in Vietnam and abandoned this airman’s sacrifice for four decades. They left him in the jungle, just like who knows how many POW’s. They deserved better. Much much better. A simple thanks to this airman isn’t enough, we must ensure through vigilance that we never allow such abuses of our fighting men and women to be forgotten or perpetrated again. If that makes me a dirtbag on FR, then so be it.
