[Hillary's book – What Happened? – published today.  We're going on a short jaunt to a reunion of my old Army outfit, where we again renew ties with all those young lieutenants and captains, and our young pretty and perky wives with their infant fledglings in perambulators, all of whom now look pretty much like we do – tempest fugit.  On the trip Jo Ann will be reading and reporting on the travails of Hillary who today told the Dems the bad news, "I'm not going anywhere."  And one loud and clear message to her discerning readers (aka Democrats in high places) from between the lines of her book is, 'Don't assume that you know everything that I know about you all.' gjr]

    Per usual – Paul dodges the questions and will not respond directly.
    What is your problem, Paul? How in the world did you manage to get through your service? Your obfuscating and evading would have earned you a lot of time cleaning trash cans. If your CO wants an answer, he doesn’t go for some BS about “well – so and so said…”. Do you have any ideas or thoughts of your own at all? About anything?

    Paul. Your the one making a big deal out of it. Your the claiming VET status, yet not saying just what you did. I gave you an easy out, yet don’t take it.(I wonder why.)
    But keep painting yourself into a corner. But I see your still subscribing to Dan Rather’s fake “Bush docs.”
    Your stories just ain’t adding up Paul… ” Uncle Paul??? Just what did you do in the military?? You go AWOL? Smoke dope to get tossed in the brig?
    All that to get out of two weeks a year.

    I think the question you guys are looking for is- What is your total active federal military service? That’s usually part of the formula for reservist VA eligibility. Being in the reserves for 6 yeas does not tell you what the amount of active federal military service is. That should help refine the conversation. 😉

    I served six years standard reserve term six month active duty for training. Two weeks each summer, one weekend a month. I was in the same unit 6 years and we were never activated.

    Paul was a baggage boy. Can’t play it any safer than that.
    So JUST what did you DO?(Paul),,,, Count tie-down straps? Hold two flashlights?
    Drive the “follow me!” truck?
    Yup… No wonder it had to be waterboarded out of ya’. (and they say it doesn’t work.)
    Don’t fret Paul,, I drove the flight line sweeper. (It sure was better than working with the plumbers digging up plugged sewers in base housing. Sometimes it paid to volunteer
    for shitty job. (some are just shittyer than others.)

    Well golly. I chased women Paul Emery. Caught one and married and had a kid. Number 326 in the lottery and 1-A through the whole thing.Worked and paid taxes so you could get a check. I think about covers it. Now tell us about your service carrying the General’s luggage.

    “Exactly what question is asked of me in this dialogue Scott?”
    Is that the kind of lip you gave when answering officers in the military?
    I’m tired of playing games with you, Paul. You obviously have some kind of problem.
    Get off the dope and maybe some kind of rehab might help.
    I give up.
    BTW it’s McClellan AFB
    I grew up right down Watt Ave from the base.
    At least I can remember the name.

    The po’ ol’ fakenewsman is consistent but the dd214’s tell the story, not ‘they said’. I can’t complain about the surgeries over the years since I get to work out a bit now. Thank God for that at least! Were you on an officer review board punchy? 😉

    Well, there is no such self-reflection needed here in our neck of the woods. Good thing our local popinjay does not have blood on his hands or need any soul searching like other journalists have to undertake to absolve themselves. The guilt must be unbearable for them to shoulder. Absolutely crushing.
    “Journalism is in crisis. After some much-needed self-examination, however, reporters are finally beginning to figure out why many Americans are souring on their industry: They’ve been too critical of the Democratic Party.”

    I would expect the same respect I have for you when I answer your questions. And the same respect you expect from others when you constantly badger others to answer your questions.

    I don’t see as much news and discussion as I had thought I would about the Experian scandal. Is anyone out there doing anything specific in response to this disaster?
    It galls me that because of their screw up, I’m supposed to go them for help. I’m sure there will be a class action lawsuit, but that won’t help if my identity is stolen.
