I added Art to the wastebin a couple of months ago. He has a lot to offer
the group as an ex-WWII aircrew, but his signal to noise ratio is way outta
whack.

And I kill filed him a year ago but people I do like keep replying to
him so, much as I hate to, I guess I'll have to killfile them to keep
from seeing Kramer's stupid libdem posts.

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.

Get off of Art's back. He has definitely earned the right to his
opinions as a WWII active duty vet. How many of you did the same??????
WWII is a long time ago and all these stories will soon be missed and lost.

Nobody is on Art's back.

Everyone has a right to his opinion, it does not have to be earned.

Art has said things that are demonstrably untrue, his stories are thus
unreliable.

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.

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.

He certainly has the right to his opinions.
But lately Art isn't talking about WW2 but about his opinons of how great
Clinton was and how great Kerry would be as president..

I thought you said you would stop initiating off topic posts. I see your word
