"Liberated" ? As I remember it there was no German resistance
whatever.
All
the
Germans had left and they just walked in without a shot being
fired.
Hardly
the
equivalent of landing on Omaha beach was it?. (sheesh)

Yes, I guess your right.

I mean the 41st Infantry had an easy time in New Guinea during
1942/43.

Or that Provisional Tank battalion that ended up on the Bataan
penensula
in 1941 as infantry after they ran out of fuel.

I mean, they were just National Guard troops....
Not real soldiers, right Art ?



At least Bush wasn't hiding in those units right?

No, he was flying a rather unforgiving aircraft.

Or are you saying the USAF had lax standards for pilot training in
the
early 70's ?


As Colin Powell said:
"I am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful and
well-placed managed to wangle slots in the Army Reserve and National
Guard units... Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class
discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all
Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to their
country."

You got any new tunes you can play? That one has proven to be a bit
stale--especially given the response that same individual provided to
the
smart-assed congressional staffer who wanted to visit the issue during
testimaony a week or two back...but you probably missed that, right?
Just
like you seem to have missed every other significant development that
has
occured since 1945.

Art only showed up for the last year of WWII.


1943-1946. You can't count either. Never saw you there btw. Tell us about
your
combat experience.

You have changed your experiance, old fart. Don't start lying to us.
