Man this is truely sad...

"On April 22, 2004, Tillman was killed while on patrol with his unit near the Pakistan border. On April 30, the Army posthumously awarded Tillman the Silver Star for bravery, stating that Tillman died in a heroic charge up an enemy-held hill. The truth, though, was that Tillman had been killed by three bullets to the forehead fired by American soldiers in a friendly fire accident, and Army officials knew it immediately. Officers on the scene knew it, which may be why they ordered that Tillman's body armor and uniform be burned. Eventually, seven soldiers in Tillman's unit were mildly punished for their role in his death. No one has been punished for lying to the American people. But last week, the Army inspector general recommended the launching of a fourth investigation into the tragedy."

Maybe it's just me, but FOUR investigations? Aren't there other more worthy investigations to re-open?
JFK?
Vince Foster's "suicide"?
Why people voted for Clinnochio a second time?

Or why anyone voted for the current President Douchebag a first time?
Or even more perplexing...a second time?

even a bad plan is still a plan, Democrats haven't got a clue about what to do.
their whole agenda is "HATE BUSH".

Not only did they...but they did so by a majority.
Something Clinnochio never got.

Right........
It's like the old 80s Eddie Murphy skit from Delirious/Comedian.
You have AIDS.
But I'm not a homsoexual?!?!?
Sure you're not a homosexual.......

Besides, you're obviously a racist, sexist, agist. Now get to one of your PC in the 2000s meetings...you're way outta line!

As opposed to you being a bandit in street clothes? Find an ideology, stick to it, make some sense, quit contradicting yourself all the time, and educate yourself a little along the way.

On the topic of Tillman. God bless his family for what they're going through, but had he not been a kick ass NFL safety there would be little to no light shed on this topic. We've got bigger problems to deal with right now, like the national debt, a war, a possible civil war in Iraq, a possible whole new deal with Syria, etc. I would like to see the whole issue resolved, but it's not as important to me as some other things are.

That's because they're obsessed with bush; so much that they think about him when they beat off.

It was a matter of picking the lesser of two evils. I think both sides were filled with lies. However, I felt like the D's plan for Iraq and so forth were not even close to realistic/possible.

Rangers don't normally put 3 rounds into someone's forehead on accident.

Well try not to lose any sleep!
I'm tired of 90Stang trying to tell me who I am, what I believe,...what education I have, when he doesn't know shit from shinola about me. A cheap and worn out junior tactic!

Actually, I took classes for my Bachellors in Business Admin from a combination of schools including Dale Carnegy, University of Phoenix, Abilene Christian University. My A&P license came from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. And my Associates in Applied Acft Maintenance came from the Air Force. I'm also working towards an undergrad degree right now in Political Science. You're right, I do turn wrenches for a living...on $32,000,000 aircraft. I take a lot of pride in my job and what I do every day, so for you to bash on my job and call me a loafer kinda pisses me off. The education I got at Dyess AFB could get me a decent living outside of the military, but instead, I'll continue doing this for the next 17 years until I retire. I don't claim to be a know it all. I don't "love" Bush as Line-em-up put it. I don't even much like Bush anymore. So before YOU try to judge ME, why don't YOU get a clue.

In 90's def, people can make damn good $$$ just turnin wrenches(as u put it) on aircraft for a living. I don't, I just load the munitions on the damn things. Earlier posted about putting 3 rounds in a head...yea that is a slight bit suspicious.
