Recently ( some months ago ) in the news,, We ALL heard of at least 41 Self Rightgeous Democrat Senators
( Senator Reid and 40 of his Left Wing Democrat colleagues ),, who were joined by a Howling MOB including George Soros’ Media Matters,, as they sought to castigate and silence Rush Limbaugh because of his reference to "phony" Anti-War soldiers…
Limbaugh’s comments,, taken IN context,, referred ONLY to Jesse Macbeth and those LIKE him..
McBath is a CONFESSED and CONVICTED phony,, whose faked but graphic war crimes confessions received FAR wider Media Attention,, and COVERAGE,, than did his later confession to the LIES.. He had,, in a WELL Documented Finding of FACT,, been actually discharged in BOOT CAMP after only 40 days of service..
It was ONLY the DISTORTIONS and the SUBSEQUENT Controversy ( and the efforts of INDEPENDENT Internet Sources ) over Limbaugh’s comments that even made McBeth’s Fraudulance and Exposure as a "Phony Soldier" a matter of "PUBLIC knowledge" at ALL..
EVEN TODAY,, one must SEARCH for the REAL truth of this story in order to find it…
The Coverage of REID’S Lies were FAR more reported then were the EXPOSURES of those Lies..
While MANY are well aware of the Controversy over Rush’s Comments,, FEW can even cite the NAME of the "Phony Soldier" in question and Indeed,, MANY still try to paint Limbaugh as "Anti-Military" and "Anti- Troops" when in fact,, it is THEY that seek to do HARM to BOTH….And ALL of this was based on the INTENDED and FULLY knowledgable Distortions of his comments by those who FALSELY claim to "Suppoort the Troops"....
Macbeth follows a grand tradition of fake soldiers whose "war crimes" confessions have been used by the Left to slander AMERICA through the service of her troops…And MAKE no mistake about it..THESE are attacks on AMERICA!!!!
The Troops are MERE Pawns,, to be USED,, DESTROYED and/or discarded by the Left when their Purpose has been served....Other then THAT,, they mean NOTHING to the Left..
The "Phony Soldier" will frequently claim,, Over and Over and Over again,, as though to CONVINCE themselves of the Lie,, a military expertize and/or background born of Combat Experience.. Usually but NOT always they will claim some kind of Security Clearance to further establish SOME sense and degree of credibility.. They will often claim to speak for the MAJORITY of our troops in their Anti-War Rants.. They’ll expouse the Moral Vaccuum that exists in America’s involvement and often cite PERSONAL War Atrocities commited at the insistance of "ORDERS coming from on high..".. When Pressured they’ll claim that their OWN lives were threatened if they didn’t commit these atrocities.. They NEVER seem to have a suitable answer to the question,,
"If what you’re saying is TRUE,,WHY DIDN"T YOU REPORT THIS..If NOT then,,,WHY NOT NOW??"
And HOW come you’re NOT in Prison???
THEY won't answer that question but I will..THEY don't report these things because if they DID,,THEY'D risk EXPOSURE for their LIES...
They will CLAIM to SPEAK for the Indigenous people when they say that there is an overwhelming opposition to our presence and generally portray the War as being a LOST cause from the beginning…
For example,, Micah Ian Wright,, author of the 2003 anti war best seller,, "You Back the Attack,",, was an Army Ranger and Combat veteran PRAISED and often QUOTED at USC’s Annenberg School and in Media Icons such as the Washington Post until he was finally "outed" as a complete and utter FRAUD..
Many similar examples of "phony soldiers" used by the Left for war crimes confessions are WELL documented in B.G. Burkett’s bestseller "Stolen Valor"...
Indeed, the problem became so epidemic with the Left that a Republican Congress in 2005,, at the urging of many REAL veterans,, was moved to pass the "Stolen Valor Act",, finally CRIMINALIZING such activities as those of Macbeth and MANY others..The LEFT Howled in PROTEST at this so called "Violation" of FREE SPEECH…..
There is NO one more INJURED by phony war crimes charges lodged by "Phony Soldiers" than Legitimate Veterans themselves whose service is dishonored,, Usually Forever it seems,, by the slander…
I know… In 1971,, in addition to listening to John Kerry falsely compare our forces in Viet Nam to "the Army of Jhengiz Khan,",, I heard Al Hubbard,, the PRESIDENT of Kerry’s VVAW,, appearing with Kerry in forums such as "Meet the Press" and before Congress confessing to war crimes such as the " bombing of innocent villages" and the "Cutting off of the Ears and Noses of INNOCENT Civilians" in an ORGY of Despicable,, Criminal and Bloodthirsty Rampages..
Hubbard was presented as an Air Force pilot,, who appeared on NATIONAL television on the MOST trusted NEWS NETWORKS of the time while wearing the Distinguished Flying Cross and many other medals ALL while bemoaning America’s guilt and criminal activities in Viet Nam…
The Problem with this IS,, HE was NONE of these things,, having left the Air Force as a Sergeant and never having served in Viet Nam at all…EVER!!!
The result??
EVEN after the Frauds were exposed??
Americans sat in their homes nightly and listened to NEWS coverages of the War REFLECTING these accusations.. ALWAYS with the ever present underlying theme that WE NO longer had ANY Business being in Viet Nam..That we had LOST the Moral Clarity to continue.. That we should NEVER have BEEN there in the FIRST Place..
And THUS,,,The So-called "Unbiased" MSM had become the WILLING Propaganda Machine for the Anti- War Left as it STILL is today...
Walter Cronkite,, "the most TRUSTED man in America",, sitting in New York at a desk App. 9000 miles from Saigan,, declared that the Viet Nam War was Indeed LOST..
In the Post Viet Nam Era,, AFTER the returning soldiers were SPIT upon and CALLED many names like "Baby Killers" and WORSE.. ( ALL thanks to the Phony Soldier ) There came a proliferation of such movies as,, "Apocalyse Now",, "Full Metal Jacket" and "Coming home"..ALL portrying the certifiably "Troubled" Viet Nam Soldier and Vet in the mold of the "Phony Soldiers" of John Kerry... All were portrayed as being ONE word,, ONE step,, ONE incident away from Snapping or "Flashing Back" with unbridled violence,, to their days in Viet Nam..
A REAL and TANGIBLE FEAR of the Viet Nam Vet. emerged as a consequence..
And so,,, From OUT of the LIES of the " Phony Soldiers",,, The Post Viet Nam Era quickly became the Era of the Pycopathic,, Drug Induced,, Murderous,, Blindly Violent and WHOLLY UNPREDICTABLE Stereotype of the Viet Nam Vet...
Those of us who lived through those days remember it ALL too well..We LEARNED to HIDE and EVEN DENY our Military Service and Experiences and SOME even came to LOATHE them..
NOT so much because of their experiences over in ‘Nam but because of their experiences upon COMING HOME..
No Ticker tape parades for Us..No siree,, No free Drinks at the neighborhood bar celebrating our return..Oh No..At the ripe old age of 20 to 25 we faced WWII types,,our FATHERS,, who looked upon the Viet Nam Vet with CONTEMPT as AMERICA’S FIRST LOSERS…..
MANY became Homeless as Marriages failed as addictions to drugs and alcohol,,NEVER a PROBLEM in Viet nam,, manifested itself into their lives..This had the effect of further reinforcing the Stereotypes born out of the LIE…An America which was DEFENDED had turned it’s back on the defenders and SHUNNED them…
We remember the sidelong glances and looks of suspicion as others became aware of our military service and we remember the difficulties of trying to get a Job working alongside "Normal" people..More then ONE potential Employer,,USUALLY someone of MY own age who stayed HOME while I was away serving my country,, looked me straight in the eye and quothed,,, " Anyone too stupid to stay out of Viet Nam is too stupid to work for ME.."…
And if you DID get a job,, you ALWAYS seem to get the impression that others were waiting and watching for you to snap as they JUST KNEW you would eventually do….It was ONLY a matter of time…
But I guess,, worst of all by FAR,,and many YEARS later,, was looking at the upturned face of an 8-year old daughter and having to explian to her,, and NOT knowing HOW or WHY she should even have the knowledge to ASK such a question,,,
"No honey,,Daddy NEVER did ANY of those things while he was there.."..
I hear Viet Nam Vets. Being referred to as the "Forgotten Vets." And I say HELL No to that..WOULD to GOD that THAT should have been the case..The KOREAN Vet. was the "Forgotten" Vet,, The Viet Nam Vet.was the REJECTED Vet…AGAIN,,Thanks to the LIES of the "Phony Soldier"…
Thank GOD those days are gone,, May they BE gone FOREVER… I sat and watched recently as some kind of commercial,, I have NO Idea what it was all about,, finally got my attention..I saw men and women in uniform walking through a terminal of some kind..It was Quiet..Then there came the sound of someone clapping,, then another and yet another joined in until the whole room was filled with a chorus of clapping people ALL standing and paying homage to those who would serve their country..
I gotta tell you..We’ve come a LONG way since 1974…I don’t even mind saying that I was moved to tears…
Military personnel all over the world thank God for Rush Limbaugh’s stout defense of our military from these "Phony Soldiers"…In TODAY’S world,, we NEED not depend on the Liberal MSM to "Find out the Truth" of these despicable Characters..By the SAME token,, the SAME technology has made It possible for them to APPEAR anywhere,, on ANY site,, and at ANY time with these Phony Accounts,, accusations and false claims..We NEED to be AWARE of their Presence.. We NEED to KNOW that they are HERE.. It’s ELECTION time and THEY are ACTIVE ALL over the Blogasphere…
However,, In 1971,, there was NO Rush Limbaugh to defend us from the John Kerrys and the Al Hubbards and the McBeths of the world…
Indeed,, it is the U.S. Senate that is a Potemkin Village.. It is a body upon whose failure it WAS and IS to condemn Hubbard’s and Kerry’s 1971 libels and THAT Failure continues to this very day to be deafening.. It is also a place upon whose floor active duty soldiers of TODAY have been compared to the assassins of the Khmer Rouge (Senator Dick Durbin); people who terrorize women and children (Senator Kerry); and (in close proximity) cold blooded murderers (Rep. John Murtha)… HYPOCRACY and COWARDICE are terms too kind for those who DEMEAN our soldiers without regard to the consequences to them… This conduct when coupled with the effort to silence Limbaugh,, a stout and CONSISTANT defender of the troops,, can be best described with just TWO words: What TRAITORS...
And what of the phoney comments made by the likes of Murtha and Kerry?? Both of these so-called war "Hero's" have had their records SEALED and WHO but they know the REAL truth of their military service,, save God himself…
They make CLAIMS of Hero Status but offer NO evidence of it.. Yet their Supporters and the "Phony Soldiers" of today DEFEND these two while ATTACKING McCain’s EXEMPLARY Military Record..
His REFUSAL to go HOME while others were FORCED to stay displays a Heroism in the CLASSIC and HISTORICALLY Recognized sense of the word.. To Dismiss it on the basis of " he made his choice" SMACKS of a STUPIDITY beyond ALL comprehension and reason…It is EXACTLY that "Choice" that makes him the HERO that he IS….If Murtha and Kerry were truely honorable men worthy of the uniforms that once they wore,, they would go public with their military records,, just as many of us Viet Nam Veterans,, after YEARS of denial,, have finally been ABLE to do..
As for the Thoroughly Despicable and COWARDLY "Phony Soldier",, May he forever REAP the Misery that he SOWS….
