Even his stuff about WWII B-26 ops is of little value as his memory is now so poor he can't separate fact from fantasy. |

"Ed Majden" wrote in message ... Get off of Art's back. Nobody is on Art's back. He has definitely earned the right to his opinions as a WWII active duty vet. Everyone has a right to his opinion, it does not have to be earned. How many of you did the same?????? WWII is a long time ago and all these stories will soon be missed and lost. Art has said things that are demonstrably untrue, his stories are thus unreliable. |

He has definitely earned the right to his opinions as a WWII active duty vet. He has not earned the right to putting out false "facts", however. Nor, IMO, has he "earned" any right to defame the efforts of the millions of other vets who served during WWII, and afterwards, who performed duties other than those exact ones that he supposedly performed. How many of you did the same?????? A lot of us have served; most of us were not even born when WWII was fought. Most of us hold WWII vets in high regard--but that does not mean that every WWII vet gets a "free ride" in terms of being allowed to lie, distort, libel other veterans, etc. All of which Art has been proven to do. WWII is a long time ago and all these stories will soon be missed and lost. Only the true ones. But stories like, "We NEVER missed our target" (yeah, right--unfortunately, the available records of the day don't bear that one out), "The Guard was sitting at home when I went off to win the war" (nope again--the Guard had been mobilized in its entirety some three years or so before Art graduated from freakin' high school), "I was in the trenches during the Ardennes...er, no, I was at 10,000 feet above those battles...", etc., serve no purpose other than to perpetrate further historical inaccuracy. Ed retired RCAF/CAF with 1 Air Div Europe & NORAD fighter bases. But in Art's book, you did not do squat; he has gone on record as indicating that the Cold War vets are mere dirt suitable only to be scraped from his shoes. Brooks |
