Ärende: Re: Duty Honor Count
============================
Hello Shannon,

>LL>Duty.  Honor.  Country.
>LL>Such a lovely phrase.  Used by the military, and General Douglas
>LL>MacArthur in his famous farewell speech to the Congress.  But what
>LL>does it mean?

ST>I am familiar with our more modern version of the saying above --
ST>and it's quite different.

The concepts are the same as they always have been.
Some have twisted those concepts to make them mean something
they were never intended to mean.  But the original concepts
remain the same.

>LL>John McCain's campaign motto is "Country First".

ST>Good for John.

John McCain is a traitor to his country, always doing what was
best for John, never what was best for his fellow man or his country.

>LL>John McCain claims to be a hero.  Yet he sold out to his captors

ST>I never heard him make that claim.  Can you please cite that quote
ST>where he makes that claim?

http://vietnamveteransagainstmccain.com/

While visiting that site, be sure to read this particular
article, written by the late Colonel David H. Hackworth, dated
January 25, 2000.  It is quite enlightening.

http://vietnamveteransagainstmccain.com/cin_hacker_2.htm

Col. Hackworth was the highest decorated veteran since WWII.
He had lots to say about John McCain and his lack of character.

>LL>in North Vietnam.  Just as he sold out to a president who disdains
>LL>the U.S. Constitution by calling it "just a goddamn piece of paper."
>LL>Such is Duty, Honor, Country to John McCain.
>LL>And so it is with those who support (or have supported) George
>LL>W. Bush, as well as those who choose to support John McCain in his
>LL>bid for the presidency.

>LL>This clown is an equal opportunity asshole.

ST>So it's you who is the asshole clown?

This clown is an an equal opportunity asshole.
What kind of asshole are you?

ST>Seriously dude, you don't make much sense.

A clown does not have to make sense.

>ST>Why did you make this statement?  I haven't spoken to you
>ST>in about a year, and you deliver this statement out of sheer
>ST>hatred?

>LL>"We are all fools (assholes), most of the time."
>LL>- Jean ValJean, in Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables"

ST>It was you who made the statement.  Don't cower behind someone
ST>else's quote, cower behind your own.

We are all assholes.  Every man, woman and child on the face of
this planet.  Without exception.

>ST>I'm just trying to understand why you would say such a thing....

>LL>A clown is one who provides social commentary.
>LL>This clown does so on an equal opportunity basis.

ST>Again, so you are the asshole clown?

This clown is an equal opportunity asshole.
What kind of asshole are you?
