He could have been a SEAL at any time he chose. UDTs generally go in surreptitiously & unopposed, SEALS do not. FOr every UDT that died in Viet Nam 17 SEALS died. Even you can see the difference there. Jesse “The Boobie” sure did

The op ed was not written for us, it was written for”Romney Republicans”. Those people who want the environment destroyed, poc “put in their place”, tax free living for the .01, forced birth and no health or safety regulations but are terrified of hair furor.

Only that he was NEVER a SEAL. He took the training & could have requested the posting any time he wanted. But the war was on & casualty rates for SEALS were 17 times frogs so he remained a frog.  Stolen valor

Not hearing much about the Navy SEALS accused of killing an Army Ranger after he discovered they were embezzling cash that was supposed to be used to bribe terrorists.

So, I am guess the answer to the question is, “No, no, in fact I cannot explain my membership in that group. At least I can’t if I hold any hope of reelection”

“The Methodist church is the secular arm of the Klu Klux Klan” - Samuel Clemens

He is running out there in “Little House on the Prairie” territory, the sort of place that sent Michelle ‘Batshit’ Bachmann to Congress. I can’t even imagine how those folks will respond to this (other than the obvious, “Well HE said so I can too I guess”).

My kid served in Afghanistan & bought his AK (slightly used, Russian made) for $25US. He did not try to bring it home with him but left it for his replacement

Fuck those people, Sherman didn’t go far enough

Why invade when they have already taken total control of the White House & one entire political party?

“Now it is true what they say about Boss Grissom, he was a murderer and fiend. On the other hand he had a lovely singing voice.” - the Joker

This is a fabulous idea! They need one on Hollywood’s ‘Walk of Fame’ . . . right over hair furor’s star

Compared to the US from 1945 to 1980

I have taken to asking to have the kitchen prepare the food the way they would eat it. Yeah, a couple of times it was painful but one thing I learned is it is personal taste - there in no one ‘Indian level hear’

Screw it, microwave hers, she won’t know the diference

The problem is that a well done steak is dry and tough without much flavor. If the restaurant buys decent meat well done makes it no better than crap.

Yet people get upset when I carry my baby around by holding the nape of his neck in my teeth!

Yeah because everything was so wonderful in Victorian England and the gilded age in the US because of their unfettered capitalism.

capitalism, per se, is not the problem. The problem is the unfettered version we are currently practicing in the US. It used to be the government acted as a counterbalance against the worst excesses but the government has been acquired in a hostile takeover and is now toothless. We are becoming serfs 

There is something scummy about any business, and particularly these drowning in cash sports businesses, squeezing states for freebies. It seems they are in a race to see who can be the scummiest.
