You have to respect the rank even if you don’t respect the person wearing it.

I served in Vietnam and I could care less if a politician served in the military or not. Our greatest president, Abe Lincoln served briefly in the Black Hawk “war’ as a captain but did not see any action, yet he was our president during the bloodiest war in our history. What I do have a problem with is when politicians (like Perry) start whining about others not serving. He had a few deferments under his belt when he enlisted in the Air Force and I have to wonder if he used his family’s influence to get out of going into any combat zone? Another thing is his nickname. “Crotch”?? He was on a recent video calling the Secretary of the Treasury, “treasonous”, while his left hand was in his pocket and what looked like to me, massaging his “member”. What was that all about?

Sorry folks, but to politicians, all of us plebs are nothing more than “cargo,” human resources to exploit.

This level of idiocy is why the vast majority of Americans are so ill-informed and distracted by such non-issues.

Um, the country is crumbling, folks…Get your heads out of your asses.

Has nothing to do with you, Sandune. Nothing. Nor with any poster. It is all about the one comment I lifted from the article. IMO the writer attempted to depreciate Perry over what he flew and when. I also feel she was typical of someone who never sat in the left seat. So he flew a “Trash Hauler.” That’s why I put the link to WASP’s in there since they did plenty of “trash hauling” and if you visit the USAF Museum at WPAFB you will see the list of deaths.

Perry is a gas bag and he’ll raise the old “Bloody Shirt.” He’ll be down and dirty so he’ll be right on the same level as Mr. ACORN himself. They’d make a fine team IMO.

Rick, A little light stuff can often loosen up the rants. I am the last one to diss any veteran involvement. My husband was a naval pilot in WW2 and ended up smashed all over a mountain during a chance of trying out a new plane. He lost the top of his head and his skull was replaced by a metal cap. My father was infantry in WW1 and came home from Europe with a few more scars than he left home with. I have 14 cousins who served in Vietnam and Korea and I never missed a Sunday at the local Vet’s hospitals wherever I lived.

I worked with MIA POW organizations and we had many fund raisers in my bookstore. I am an armed service brat and proud to be an American. If I offended anyone with my post on “Crotch” just think of it this way. I could have mentioned many other things, really bad things, about Governor Perry of Texas. Shoot me!

This has zero to do with what he ranted about and everything to do with the flawed perception of that comment. Dismissing someone over what they flew and the conditions diminishes their contribution. That is why I also included the link. Take a look at the WASP contributions and how many died flying C-47s.

Perry would have a better chance if we didn’t remember the Bushies.

Who said, “he reminds women of their first husband?”

Perry is a very attractive men and when he was in the State Senate his nickname was “Crotch” due to his wearing ultra tight levis. Will it put him in the White House? Possibly.
