Ann Margaret Spent More Time in Vietnam, than Bush Spent in Iraq.



Just wanted to keep Bush’s re-election fraternity stunt in perspective.

2. And I bet she flew in with the plane lights on and the window shades up.
And presumably attracted a lot more attention from the troops there.

3. Who is Ann Margaret?
I did a Google search and I came up with an entertainer. :shrug:

Why is a historical figure in Vietnam?

5. Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men
These are two of her most recent films. But she's pretty awesome. I think she dated Elvis for a while. Quite a dancer...

6. I saw Ann Margaret in Vietnam
She traveled with Johnnie Rivers and performed at base camps. I have an 8 x 10 photo taken at the show that the photogs were throwing away. I garnered it and got her to autograph it. Fought for 10 years to keep "crazy wife" from throwing it away when she found it in the military papers.

8. I was at Lai Khe in 1965, 1st Infantry, when
Ann Margaret and Johnny Rivers played a USO show on the back
of a flatbed truck out in the bush. Funny, I don't remember those
two performers sneaking into our base camp in the middle of the night. Trust me, it was a mighty hot spot. In fact, Rivers and Margaret stayed on after the show to visit with us troops.

I guess MonkeyNuts can truly say now he's been to war. What a puke bucket PR chickenhawk chickenshit.
