[fearsidhe]

What an outrage to Vietnam Vets!

I took my 5 year old to the Outlet mall in Lebanon, Tennessee yesterday to get her a tea set.

Two large posters... G. W. Bush in a USAF combat flight suit (NOT Navy) (Vietnam era) Doll... $10.00 deposit, limit one per customer, ttl price $39.95...

Doll is "American Hero Action Force"

What revisionist tripe.... I raised hell with the two clerks but the manager was either not on Duty or hid.

I am REALLY Pissed!!!! (Lt. Cdr. USNR Ret. VA 65 (Nam))

(yes... I do have a 5 year old. Us Navy guys do NOT fire blanks and we do not dodge OUR service obligations!!!

1. thank you for raising hell, fearsidhe

I'm outraged, too. This is unbelievably sickening - not only what this frat boy NOT in Viet Nam, HE WAS FREAKING AWOL. :puke:

2. Thanks for raising hell Commander,

as a navy brat (one of a family of five) I understand the "blank" thing.........

VA 65? What carrier were you off of?

[fearsidhe]

3. We need to fucking hammer the AWOL angle in the campaign

This pigfucker makes me sick.

He doesn't deserve the title of president, or niceties like *.

He'll be henceforth known as the pigfucker in my posts. And I won't even do him the dignity of capitalizing it.

11. Interestingly enough....

....if you go to http://www.kbtoys.com/genProduct.html/PID/2431939/ctid/17/place/agsf to view the product, there's an opportunity to "Rate this product." I have it on good authority that some miscreant just gave it the lowest possible rating, and suggested that an empty box would be a better symbol for an AWOL aviator..... ;-)

17. Redux...

I finally got to see the manager at the shop today and asked if the doll came with a white feather or a yellow stripe on the flt suit.... I had to explain it to her...

This is a KB toys project only... I won't be shopping there any more...

5. What an insult to McCain, Kerry, and all the others who were in Vietnam

I don't have a problem with anyone who dodged the draft, unless they criticize the ones who actually served. It's one of the things about Bush that pissed me off enough to go vote for McCain in the Michigan primary (the other was to make Engler look bad).

6. VIETNAM EA ACTION FIGURE

WAR HERO

ARE YOU F*CKING SHITTING ME?

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

I've never served but this is a slap in the face of anyone who has

[fearsidhe]

10. Going back to get a picture to post....

I am driving back to Lebanon to take a pic of this abortion to post... an hour and a half each way, but worth it...

[youngred]

12. Awfully long drive

This is absolutely disgusting.

[Lisa]

15. Egads -- you mean, there's ANOTHER version of the action figure?

besides the "Elite Force" one of him dressed up as a "naval aviator"?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3184709.stm


A Vietnam-era USAF one?

To quote from "Apocalypse Now" -- "The horror. The horror."


p.s. I am very sorry to see people treating "Vietnam veteran" as just another costume to dress up in. And to see someone like Bush exploiting it for political gain ... without even a moment's honesty about having marked the "will not serve overseas" box on his pilot application form. What a thing to see when all you wanted was a tea-set for your little girl!

9. I got your email

Sounds like you were pissed as hell!

I will call you tomorrow before I go to class-

13. Your service means doodly squat

to these people...

They only whore you and your fellow soldiers to incite an edgy nationalistic paranoia.

Anyone who opposes ANYTHING by this crowd is "not supporting the troops."

Forget the fact most of these bastards were "supporting" Vietnam while dodging that conflict while other men (such as yourself and My father) were wading through the muck and shit in Vietnam watching body parts fly through the air.

Every single man who ever was sent to Vietnam should be respected beyond all possibilities and ANYONE who dares "co-opt" that service for their own selfish agenda in my mind is a TRAITOR....

14. I haven't seen these troll dolls but thanks for giving them hell.

Unbelievable, isn't it? That we could be witnessing the entrance into a Military Corpo take-over attempt of America.

It sucks ass, really, it does.

I can only imagine what my grandfather would do if he saw those idiotic dolls...A bonfire?

Same with my stepdad who was non-combat USAF but still had to give up several years of his life to arm planes that blew up civilians in N. Vietnam.


Hmm. I think I'll take him to a toy store this weekend.

Thanks again!
