A Quote by Will Rogers After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut. What came to mind as I read this quote was the many phony Veterans we have the unfortunate pleasure of meeting throughout our lives. It has been my experience that almost everyone is a "Green Beret." Usage of this term to describe a US Army Special Forces soldier bothers me. A "green beret" is a head cover and not a soldier. Next would be Navy SEALs. If they're not green berets they're SEALs. Another false claim phonies are fond of using is the "I won five Medals of Honor" line. Yeah right. Did I mention that I am a door gunner on the space shuttle? I can't figure out why the Medal of Honor line is still being used. One can go down to the local library and check out a book which lists the names and citations of each Medal of Honor recipient, making this particular claim by far the easiest to dispel. All you have to do is look up the name. To get around this, the phony will resort to telling us that his "mission was classified" and therefore he is not listed anywhere. That my friends is horseshit! Just who are all these phonies? My theory is that the bulk of them were pot smoking, bead wearing, flower-power hippie cowards during the war in SEA. They ran to Canada, Mexico and or hid out in universities to avoid serving my Country. I find their attempts at stealing the honor, integrity and glory of our nation's real heroes to be highly insulting. Another annoyance is this "winning the Medal of Honor" BS. One does not win the Medal of Honor. It's not a contest. The Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor in action against an enemy force which can be bestowed upon an individual serving in the Armed Services of the United States. It is presented by the President of the United States of America. One can win a race, musical chairs, the lottery, etc but one cannot win the Medal of Honor. 8:06:32 PM  comment []
