They are most upset that they no longer have a lock on public information to the point that one "well respected" reporter like sweet ol' Walter Kronkite can help a Communist country win a war by declaring that our side has lost and being believed by the bulk of the American people. They WANT their side to have a "grassroots" movement in the blogosphere, but they CAN'T. Centralization and top-down organization is their HALLMARK. It is about an oligarchic few dictating to the masses "the word"...dogma is what they live by, and it is what they will end with, as well.

Thank him for his military service and then treat him like what he is: an American citizen who broke the law on several counts. If any regular folks had tried this stuff, you can bet they would have already been in major trouble and out a large sum of money, if not facing jail time. Must be nice to have a political office to cover yourself with...oh, and Mayor Dinkins, his pal...yeah, check things out and see how wonderful NYC did under his magnificent watch...the apologetics for these politicians never ceases to amaze me (like Bill Clinton running cover for Byrd at his funeral.)

Because this POS is getting a pass on telling "mis-speakings" to young folks who take what he says as the real deal, by dint of him being an academician. SO, he gets a pass to perpetrate this horse manure slander against this country and our military services if no one calls him on it. So many times, that is all it takes; please, if you see something that is not right, WAVE THE BS FLAG!

The Army has a triage and stabilization process that they follow and after that, the aim is to get the soldier to Germany where there are better facilities to deal with serious wounds. The US Air Force uses cargo aircraft specially rigged to transport the wounded in as much comfort as possible. So many GIs have been saved due to timely evac to the proper medical treatment and for this "historian" to suggest that the US Army and US Air Force wouldn't be able to do the same for this guy and let him linger in pain for extended time is simply a load of horse manure. This little mouth of an "academician" should shut his yap unless he wants to spout off to the fine men and women doing the tough job in the sandbox everyday. But, of course, he gets to talk all the trash he wants and get away with it because he's so educated, right? I'm sure he thinks he's so much better than "those peasants" in the military. However, its only due to the men and women in the US Armed Forces that he has the freedom to get away with what he does. That ANYONE would take this POS seriously stretches belief and makes decent Americans feel sick, I'm certain of it. Any veterans or active members who think I said something wrong here are free to disagree, of course.
