I will genuflect in your honor, J, when D and I alight upon Flagstaff for the UM game, 9/26.

We had a Medal of Honor Soldier from my hometown. Dove on a grenade at Guadalcanal to save his gunner.

[Col Hogan]

I've had the honor of meeting one of the interviewees...twice...

George "Bud" Day has twice spoken at classes I was in during my military days...

Interesting...well spoken...





Oh, yea....fvck you, Cap...

Yeah, I'll believe THAT when I see it.

What you've proven time and time again is that you really despise ANYONE who's made something....nay, ANYTHING...of their life.

Hater.

Bullshit, Gil. That stunt was invented in Hollywood in the 40's.

[Ursus A. Horribilis]

Great video Bucdad. Sometimes I am happy to see Cap'n fail in his attempts to take away in the pride that others feel in their country. I am happy when Cap'n makes good and valid points about things that are wrong, or false shit that attempts to make patriotism an excuse for anything we do. Drive by like this is a worthless attempt to start a fire for no reason AZGriz so I wouldn't pay it much attention if I were you.

Funny thing, Bears Butt, it ain't patriotism that does it. It's unabashed self-interest for material gain.

God Bless America.

Bullshit is called, read it and weep a-hole

The following month the Raiders went over to Guadalcanal for a few days en route to the Russell Islands. This was not to be the hoped-for and long-prepared-for combat though. Pavuvu Island in the Russells was occupied without opposition by Pvt Gurke's battalion from February 21, to March 18, 1943. The battalion returned to Espiritu Santo in March. On August 1, 1943, Gurke was promoted to private first class.

Transferred to Company M, 3rd Raider Battalion, 2nd Raider Regiment of the I Marine Amphibious Corps in June, PFC Gurke was at Nouméa, New Caledonia, in October and finally met the enemy at Bougainville in November. He "celebrated" his 21st birthday on November 6, 1943 and three days later gave his life for a fellow Marine and for the country he had served well for the past nineteen months.

Private First Class Gurke was in a shallow two-man foxhole with a fellow Marine, a Browning Automatic Rifle-man (BAR-man), around dawn of November 9, 1943, delivering a fierce stream of fire against the advancing Japanese in defense of a vital road block in the area near Empress Augusta Bay. Judging from the increased ferocity of the enemy grenade attack, that the enemy was determined to annihilate him and his buddy because of the fierce effective fire they were rendering, PFC Gurke roughly thrust his companion aside when a Japanese grenade landed in their foxhole and threw himself on the deadly missile. For his unswerving devotion to duty and uncommon valor in the face of the enemy, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor to PFC Gurke.

Fraud. He was the Tawana Brawley of WWII "heroes".

I'll take FDR's opinion over yours.

So, am I supposed to genuflect?

Yes. But for veterans, you probably wouldn't be alive.

George "Bud" Day has twice spoken at classes I was in during my military days...

Interesting...well spoken...





Oh, yea....fvck you, Cap...

My brother's ashes sit in a crypt 340 mi. from me. He didn't receive a Medal of Honor...didn't need to. His honor will forever be recorded on The Wall down the street from our Nations Capitol and the White House. Forever. And I know every true Patriot will always honor his, and every other veteran's sacrifice.

As the Col. said...fvck you Cap.

Hey, I'm just pokin' Captain America. Relax.

If there were no veterans, I wouldn't alive today? Sheeit, if there were no veterans, there woulda been no wars and that means women woulda been in charge and we'd have eternal peace. Testosterone is an ugly thing.

Cappy knows that I know he's just pokin' the beast. He does three ways every night with DADT reservists from upper Wiconsin. And HE'S the catcher.
