Just watched Chuck Todd "interview" John McLunatic on Meet the Depressed,and Todd did everything but blow him on live TV. EVERY question was a set up for McLuntic to agree that Trump can't be trusted because he is incompetent. He even has McLunatic calling for a Congressional investigation on Trump.
The final question was to aske McLunatic "Trump has said that ABC,CBS,NBC,and CNN were not HIS enemy,but were the enemy of the American People",and of course McLunatic then crawled up his ass and took a nap while kissing Chuckie's ass on the way in and out.
Then Leon Panetta came on and said the intelligence community can't trust Trump. Panetta was VERY careful to not appear to be a part of the hatchet job,but did and said nothing to defend Trump and his actions.
The whole show was a hatchet job to try to convince conservatives that he is incompetent and needs to be removed from office.
There is not a single one of the Sunday political talk shows that are even pretending to be unbiased anymore. It is clear to everyone viewing them they see their goal as the removal of Trump from office.
It seems clear to me the media is going to continue trying to force Trump and his staff into defensive positions defending undefensible charges that have no basis in fact. What the typical 'murikan voter will see is Trump and his people in denial over outrageous charges and crimes,and the fact that not a single ONE of them have any basis in fact is so downplayed almost none of them will notice it.
It won't be long before the media will be ranting at Trump and his appointees "Not responding to the public's questions",when it is THEIR accussations that were made and answered on tv,NOT actual questions.
The goal is to present such a blizzard of accussations that most people will say "With all that smoke,there must be a fire somewhere!"
Trump and his staff will be found "guilty" in the minds of the public,purely because he and they were accused by the mainstream press.

I don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to know you have never been in combat,and have no idea what it's like to be in an aircraft taking fire,never mind being shot down and wounded.
It's not likely you are going to find a harsher critic of McLunatic than me,but one thing you will NEVER hear me say or see me write is that he was a coward.
Never mind flying into SAM missille and 37 MM AAA fire,just flying on and off a carrier at sea at night takes some serious stones.
Yes,he is a traitor and a buffoon,but one thing he is NOT is a coward.

Well THE RUMOR is, he was shot down on his first mission AFTER the debacle on the USS Forrestal. You know the debacle where some idiot(reported to be the son of an Admiral) "Hot started" his plane so it would belch flames out of it's ass. The flames hit unstable ordinance left over from WW2 and the deck of the Forrestal became an inferno. Now a helicopter came immediately to take the admiral's son to safety and he was reassigned to another carrier. He was never formally blamed for starting the fire, but we all know how things went down in Viet Nam when an officer got too many men killed.
I imagine the poor man was dodging fire from the ground and forgot to look behind him.

I've never heard that,but so what? WHEN he was shot down is irrelevant. The relevant point is he WAS shot down,and he was shot down while bombing one of the most protected targets in history.
AND......,it was not his first mission.

I have read the same thing. I don't know how true it is,but I suspect more than a little.
I have also read it was another pilot that did this.
Now a helicopter came immediately to take the admiral's son to safety and he was reassigned to another carrier.
That I have never heard before.

Well,I was in VN for one whole tour and part of another,and "I* do NOT know that.
I despite McLunatic and everything he stands for,but I will NOT allow his courage,or the courage of any other pilot that flew bombing missions over Hanoi. Anybody who doesn't think that was a very big deal doesn't understand the dangers involved.

I worked with a guy that was relief forces at the Battle of Hamburger Hill. He told me a mortar round landed right next so him. It was a dud. I told him, "God had his hand on your shoulder." His brother married an oriental woman. He said, "It's like a knife in my heart." :-/

I worked with a guy that was relief forces at the Battle of Hamburger Hill.

Remember in the book and the movie some radio operator comes up on the air and starts calling out the General flying over the battle at 12,000 feet in his observation helicopter,ranting and raving at his men below to get off their asses and take the hill and telling him a bunch of stuff,including "Talking shit is easy,asshole. Why not order your pilot to land your helicopter so you can get out and show your men how it's done by leading the assault to the top yourself,you fat piece of cowardly shit?"
This was the part in the movie where that young 18 year old private carrying the radio that day was trying to tell the general that the officer he was trying to get on the radio had been killed,and so had the platoon sgt. Instead of trying to calm him down,the pompous ass started giving him hell about "correct radio procedure",and calling him a coward for crying. The General was acting like a basic training platoon sgt,NOT a combat leader.
This had the General sputtering "Who's this? Who's this! I will court-martial you!",and the guy telling him,"You don't know,do you,shithead?"
That radio operator was me. I was on radio watch that day on a mountaintop in Laos where we had a remote radio relay site code-named "Leghorn",and since we had nothing going on that day,was listening in to the Hamburger Hill battle.
I was staying out of it,but when the General started berating that poor young private who was probably in the very first gun fight of his life and was panicking because everyone around him in a leadership position was lying there dead and he was scared and didn't know what to do,I kinda lost it and started putting the General in his place.
One of my proudest moments,and to this very day none of them know who it was on the radio. They had no idea about our radio relay site in Laos,so chances are the General had all the radio ops in his command that day questioned. Which means that even the guys under his command,even the ones there that day that didn't have radios know what a cowardly grandstanding asshole and glory hound he was.
For those of you who don't know,it was not unheard of for Senior officers at that time to fly over battlefields at 12,00 feet or so (too high to receive ground fire) where the troops under their command were assaulting dug-in NVA regulars,and then putting themselves in for Silver Stars and other awards for "leading a combat assault".

I've heard that saying, "Frag a lifer." ;)
