What do you call someone who...

[cynatnite]

Won't supply troops with life saving equipment?

Deny's friends and family from aquiring life-saving equipment?

Cuts benefits for Veterans?

Sends our military to war based on lies?

Wants to keep soldiers in a country where they are hated?

Attacks veterans for wanting to bring our troops home?

Impugns the military service of highly decorated veterans because they dare to disagree with the state?

Someone who has never put on a uniform, but says we must 'stay the course' and not 'cut and run'?

5. You call him President James K. Polk. . .

and the conflict you can call many names, mainly Mexican-American War here in the States. Whatever its value or rationale, most who fought it knew it contributed directly to the Civil War.

On June 21, 1940, Lyndon Johnson was appointed Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Naval Reserve (USNR). Reporting for active duty on December 10, 1941, three days after Pearl Harbor, he was ordered to the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, Navy Department, Washington, D. C., for instruction. He began working on production and manpower problems that were slowing the production of ships and planes, and he traveled in Texas, California, and Washington, assessing labor needs in war production plants. In May 1942, he proceeded to Headquarters, Twelfth Naval District, San Francisco, California, for inspection duty in the Pacific. Stationed in New Zealand and Australia, he participated as an observer on a number of bomber missions in the South Pacific. He was awarded the Army Silver Star Medal by General Douglas MacArthur and cited as follows:

"For gallantry in action in the vicinity of Port Moresby and Salamaua, New Guinea, on June 9, 1942. While on a mission of obtaining information in the Southwest Pacific area, Lieutenant Commander Johnson, in order to obtain personal knowledge of combat conditions, volunteered as an observer on a hazardous aerial combat mission over hostile positions in New Guinea. As our planes neared the target area they were intercepted by eight hostile fighters. When, at this time, the plane in which Lieutenant Commander Johnson was an observer, developed mechanical trouble and was forced to turn back alone, presenting a favorable target to the enemy fighters, he evidenced marked coolness in spite of the hazards involved. His gallant actions enabled him to obtain and return with valuable information."

10. So they fooled you too, eh?

I know he served. So did Robert McNamara. But they were so guilty of lying and hypocrisy that it effectively erased their service from my consideration.

LBJ's stupid and racist war produced carnage that Bush has yet to match. Advisers who tried to tell Johnson were fired. And McNamara, the S-O-B who assisted Curtis Le May in firebombing Japanese cities knowing it was a war crime, continued to publicly support the idiocy long after he had concluded it was folly.

Johnson still scores so high on:

Cuts benefits for Veterans?

Sends our military to war based on lies?

Wants to keep soldiers in a country where they are hated?

Attacks veterans for wanting to bring our troops home?

Impugns the military service of highly decorated veterans because they dare to disagree with the state?

and the memories of the catastrophe he unleashed on SouthEast Asia and America are still so compelling to me that I can pay him no tribute as a war hero. Ergo, the picture you so kindly included in your post, doesn't exist.
