Leahy is the only Deadhead claiming to not have done anything more aromatic than patchouli. Of course, I believe him!

If he was a skilled lawyer, he wouldn’t have opted for the Attorney. Unemployment Program (Prosecutor).
Good lawyers become defense attorneys.

He’s in the right political party–the Jackass Party.

They (the administration) are flailing in the wind. And when St. Patrick mumbles these bits of incoherent thoughts it becomes very clear.

PTSD hits in different ways. Depends on the person, the action, duration, lots of bits and pieces.
Just because you didn’t see any evidence of stress in your father doesn’t mean it wasn’t there. (I’m assuming you didn’t know him prior to the war)

I’ve seen the difference in people I know, with whom I served in the Nam. One being the Woodchuck. Passing acquaintances before, closer afterward. I replaced a sergeant he lost (1/5 SF) toward the end of my tour. Weird to be 10,000 miles away and have that happen. He stayed on for a second tour; I can tell you he is a very changed person from the person I knew in 1960.

I’ll bet it affected you too unless you spent 13 months in a Conex box. You don’t sound like you did.

There are a bunch of after action heros who want to get a bowl of the gravy; ones who saw the underside of the clouds light up from a 155 round landing 35 klicks away from the Saigon rooftop bar. There are REMF’s everywhere.

As I said, there aren’t any jungles here, lots of urban terrain.
So do we believe the guy before or after he eats the bullet?

I am deeply suspicious of all this PTSD overreaction. Yes, modern war is very barbaric. The weapon effects are extremely gruesome (massive roadside bombs/mines) and this can really get into your brain after a while. So can multiple returns to the battle area.

On the other hand, today it seems each troop has a cell phone and a laptop so family members are only a few keystrokes away. It also seems many have a good amount of creature comforts when not actually outside the wire.

In my case (Vietnam) we had rockets, mortars, mines, booby traps and bullets to contend with also. Our communication with home was the post office with about 4-5 days for a letter to go one way, if we were lucky. I was gone for almost a year. My father was in the South Pacific (Army) for three (3) years – No R&R, no trips back to the states, no emails, no facebook, just plain old snail mail of that era. Evidence of PTSD? None. I did see plenty of evidence of malaria, and foot fungal infections though.

Different eras, different people, different wars? Who knows. But I am still a bit suspicious of all the psycho-mumble that is being tossed about.

Hi JTHM,
Just hit your site and left a comment. These were the type of photos that should have been released and not relating to the CIA or GITMO. Our so called leaders have their heads screwed on wrong when it comes to “torture” and what really is torture.

The more I see apologists for these vermin the more I see actual submission, that is what scares me.
I would seriuosly hate to be a Jew, they are now more at risk than the’ve been in more than 30 years, and we ( well not we personally, but Obama and crew) are aiding in their destruction in Israel.
TruthTube .TV has the clearing house for every video showing the brutality of the true Muslim world in it’s bloody glory.
So to the moron that would except this…..go over to the middle east and free yourself of American arrogance and the Chains of democracy.

I found it right after I commented. I had posted that and others a while back questioning why Obama and his tribe of followers in D,C, are focusing on GITMO and not what these scum are doing.

Comment on So Vermont, what do you know about torture. by boudicabpi

Hi,
Bob A. here. I also posted the bottom picture questioning why Obama and his tribe of sheep in Washington are concerned with GITMO and not putting these photos out. Instead this POS grovels before the likes of Amanutjob and other Muslim leaders. He praises their contribution (Muslims) to our country. The only contribution I see is the changing of the NYC skyline, forever.

Hi,
When I hit the link I get a page saying you are not allowed to edit the post. I have posted several beheading clips and pictures.
