Fuck him. He should be strapped into a shithook and then have multiple RPG's launched at him. So much for integrity as journalist. Hell, it appears he even lied in his apology when he said he saw the bird in front of him get hit and go down. Cool story except for everyone else that said he flew in and landed about an hour later. Fucking tool bag. :roll:

Well, Hillary Clinton claimed she was shot at during a visit to Former Yugoslavia. Nothing new here, nor very surprising, either.

Nothing screws up a good war story like a bunch of facts from people who were there.


He misremembered what helicopter he was on 12 years ago?????? I'll tell you what, I haven't been in Vietnam in 48 years and I can close my eyes and see a movie of nearly every Mission I was on...I can smell the stench of the jungle...I can feel the heat and humidity.

He must have gone to the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism.

Just had the same conversation with HH6 last nite - I clearly remember what I saw and did and, probably more important, what I DIDN'T see and DIDN'T do!

Most times I try to understate things rather than embellish them.

Just saw that he's stepping down from the anchor position, at least temporarily. I hope his career dissipation light just kicked into overdrive and he gets plenty of time to reflect on how much of a shit bird he is.

I have seen 3 or 4 others and they are quite funny. It is good that he is being publicly embarrassed.

The way I became a Ranger and have earned the small amount of success I have had in life has been mostly due to one quality - determination. Lefty.
