Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips?Muerte de un Miliciano? cumple hoy 72 añosclipped by: ossercoRobert Capa (Budapest, Hungría, 22 de octubre de 1913 - Thai Binh, Vietnam, 25 de mayo de 1954. ), padre del fotoperiodismo, hizo su foto más famosa, ?Muerte de un Miliciano?, el 5 de septiembre de 1936, en Cerro Muriano, en el frente de Córdoba.  Reproducida en la mayoría de los libros sobre la Guerra civil, su autenticidad ha sido puesta en cuestión por diversos expertos. A pesar de que un historiador local de Alcoi puso nombre al miliciano, Federico Borrell García, miliciano anarquista, el documental ?La sombra del iceberg? (2007) desmonta dicha atribución de identidad con testigos, médicos forenses y documentos del archivo local de Alcoi, asimismo, muestra lo inconsistente de dicha tesis y aporta nuevas fotos de la secuencia del miliciano que avalan la tesis de la puesta en escena, así como la posibilidad de que la instantánea no la tomara Capa sino su mujer. McCain: Infallible POWclipped by: lap322[Video] John McCain was a prisoner of war in Vietnam. He is therefore infallible, untouchable, bulletproof, and a genius in all matters of foreign policy. It is well known that anyone who was a prisoner of war instantly has special knowledge of all matters dealing with foreign countries. Everyone knows that. Even in the face of absurdly untrue and factually incorrect statements, no one can question the foreign policy credentials of a man tortured as a prisoner of war. There is a magic transformation that occurs when someone is tortured in a foreign country by a foreigner who speaks a foreign language. All that exposure to foreign-ness makes a person instantly brilliant when it comes to all things foreign. Like foreign policy. Like foreign movies. Like foreign restaurants. McCain acceptance speech: I WAS A POWclipped by: masburyclippers remarks: "And I have the scars to prove it. Senator Obama does not." How would he help poor people? "I will keep taxes low...My opponent will raise them." And then bemoans "partisan rancor." And the crowd breaks into a chant of "Drill, baby, drill!" This is a snow job if ever one has been foisted upon America. Give em answers that do nothing and make em feel patriotic about entropy. McCain Uses His Big Speech to Give Us a Tour of His Vietnamese Prison Cell Number of sentences in John McCains acceptance speech about his experience as a POW in Vietnam: 43. Number of sentences about his 25 years in the House and Senate: 8. The convention ended as it began: a commemoration of McCains hellish years in a Hanoi prison cell four decades ago. The political equation was a simple one: POW equals patriotic hero equals a fighting president. Before McCain walked down the long runway at St. Pauls Xcel Center, a baritone voice declared over the P.A., "When youve lived in a box .... you put your people first." Case closed. And for McCain, it was on to the final battle, the old soldier, faith-tested and faith-proved, accompanied by a stylish hockey mom representing small-town goodness -- against those whose mettle have not been tested, whose love of country has not been tested, whose America is rather different from the America of the Republican convention.

Even as he was bein shot down he made sure he delivered his bombs on the people of Vietnam ...and got a medal for it. urrrrg.  Do internet news sites and blogs go over the top in questioning John McCain?s military record? It seems that more and more groups are questioning whether or not his record is worthy of the praise he?s receiving: McCain?s military record is fair game The War Secrets Sen.

Is McCain?s War Record Fair Game? Does John McCain?s Military Record Really Qualify Him to Be President? McCain?s Spotty Military Record Is Declared Off the Table - And Obama Appears to Accede McCains Military Record Shows He Is Unfit To Be Presidentclipped by: papananookclippers remarks: Listen to the audio--very telling [Video] McCain claims that he was tortured while in custody. There were no other American witnesses to this torture and some former POWs doubt that it happened at all. In fact, McCain himself admitted in a 1973 interview with the magazine US News and World Report that he volunteered to give military information in return for medical treatment, even before being subjected to any torture. Bear in mind that McCain?s medals were awarded for resisting torture. Yet where was the resistance? Perhaps it is this gulf between the perception and the reality of John McCain that explains why so many Vietnam veterans? groups openly despise him. However much pity we might feel for a prisoner of war subjected to such intense pressures, the record is clear : McCain was no war hero. He was, rather, a coward, an incompetent, a collaborator and a traitor. Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.
