"What the Captain Means" - political correctness meets combat reality!

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 9 hours ago
I laughed out loud on several occasions while listening to this clip. It's from Vietnam in the mid-1960's, where "politically correct" bureaucratic military officers were trying to control the flow of information about the Vietnam War. Needless to say, those actually doing the fighting were more blunt about it - not to mention profane and pugnacious. The video is a fictional portrayal, by actual serving officers, of how they experienced attempts to manipulate what they had to say about the reality of war. *LANGUAGE ALERT - This is blunt, profane and filled with F-bombs and the l... more »

F-book Stupidity and Censoring History

Navy Crawfish at 'Nox & Friends - 9 hours ago
This is crazy. Facebook just dinged me for a comedy meme from October 2018 because it contains a certain historical person. I guess only history THEY approve of is allowed. Check these photos. So evil people can’t be shown on Facebook. I guess that means the mass murderers known as the Democrats and Planned Parenthood, who have killed over 55 MILLION babies (more deaths than Hitler and Stalin combined), must be banned from Facebook. -Navycrawfish

*The Federalist:* *The Real Coronavirus Chronology Shows Trump Was On Top Of It While Biden Was Mocking The Danger* No media or Nancy Pelosi false narratives or phony Joe Biden campaign ad can change the truth about the real chronology of the coronavirus.

*THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2020* *Trump/Krug and the end of the world:* What does it mean to be mentally ill? As laypersons, we can't quite answer your question. Mental illness is a fairly nebulous concept. Some people even say that it doesn't exist. We can't explain what mental illness "is," but we know what it looks like. Today, we provide two examples. Our first example involves some conduct by Donald J. Trump. In this morning's Washington Post, Philip Rucker's discussion of Bob Woodward's book includes this comical, pitiful passage: RUCKER (9/10/20): “I don’t think Obama’s s... more »
