Tucker Carlson, join the military and go do a tour, then discuss Duckworth

This woman's family served in every American conflict going back to the Revolutionary war. She served in Iraq as one of first American female combat pilots. She earned that purple heart. Tucker calling her "unpatriotic" and a "coward" is like school on a Saturday, No Class. She was elected Director of the Illinois VA the same year that Tucker was on "dancing with the stars". Think about that..

She is unpatriotic. By definition. Patriotic comes from the Latin pater meaning “father” she literally is entertaining the idea of disavowing the father of the country.
 
Oh yes. She is a God now. Build her a statue, and the mob will tear it down anyway.

Why leverage her disability? She is still responsible for what she says. There are others who can't feed themselves. She should be glad to be alive and able to be a House member even if she is a jackass. What are Biden's credentials? Aside from spending 30 some odd years on the tax payers tit and getting nothing done. He acts like cops started killing blacks when Trump got elected, on the contrary, Biden turned a blind, albeit senile eye.

BTW as usual you guys are fos:

Why Is Tucker Carlson Attacking Tammy Duckworth? | Vogue


Only cowards insert words for others to read that are not there.

So all the networks will be quoting "he called her a coward"

"Duckworth is too afraid to defend her own statements on a cable TV show. What a coward." - Tucker Carlson
 
Because “conversation” to a leftist means “I’m superior to you you racist country bumpkin, shut up and listen”

No, conversation means we talk about the issue, and express our thoughts on the issue. What Duckworth said is 100% correct. We should have a conversion/dialog about the relevancy of statues and which kinds of people deserve to be seen. I do not see anything wrong with that. The gist of your post and Carlson's point, is "I am going to put my fingers in my ears, and not listen to people with different points-of-view".
 
There is a saying in the military, you do not fight for your country, you fight for the man next to you in the fox hole. And I have not problem with saying you disagree with her political stands as that is what our country is all about, but never use the word coward to anyone who has served.

I have no problem with anyone being terrified and a coward who is in the military. "Coward" is very subjective. Having served in the military does not mean a person is brave. It just means they joined the military.

I only know ONE person who joined specifically for the purpose of wanting to go into combat - rapidly becoming a Marine Squad leader at the height of the fighting in the Helmand District of Iraq and often in face to face small unit combat - even hand to hand (knife versus sickle one time). Rather, I would only have a problem with someone who acted in cowardice in face of the enemy while in service - and then it would depend why.

The reason "green troops" tend to do so badly is the terror/fear/coward factor - something they learned in detail in Vietnam - the first heavily filmed/videoed war of actual small scale fire-fight combat. They found 50% of the NEW draftees didn't fire at all, just tried to hide and of the other 50%, only half were actually firing. 75% of green draftees were so overcome with fear they were completely crippled. So, they were "cowards?" No, they were human.

Not in combat, I have seen people totally immobilized, total lost even of body control and unable to speak, being in terror due to violence.

That is one reason they went to the 5.56. So troops could carry and fire a LOT of ammo - because a LOT of them weren't firing.

A veteran did give Trump a Purple Heart.





And he used it to crack a joke.

Now, everyone here knows you aren't suggesting he earned a purple heart.

How many of your legs were amputated due to wounds you received in combat while you were fighting for your country?

This country does not have "a father."
 
You agree with him? You say she's a coward?

In a political sense yes. She is implying she despises the country’s founding heroes but doesn’t want to take a stand. She wasn’t brave enough to directly say “no George Washington is non-negotiable”

Whatever her exploits as a helicopter pilot, she clearly either fears her own base or agrees with them which isn’t any better

Yes it does. George Washington. This country would not exist as such without him
 
So many people in this country who were unwilling to serve are more than willing to question the bravery of those who have. I remember Trump telling us that he did not consider McCain a hero as he had been captured. What did the brave Trump followers say, NOTHING. Now we have another jackass Tucker Carlson calling Duckworth who joined and served and was wounded a coward. He is the coward. If he wants to question Duckworth as being a coward then he should join up and serve a tour in Iraq or Afghanistan and then he can question her bravery. Until then the coward that he is should just keep his trap shut about her being a coward. And those that are saying it is his right, you should join and serve a tour and then say you agree with him again. Just so you know I volunteered in 69 and come from a military family where my father and 8 out of nine children served.

Duckworth is playing political games. That's her job (as she sees it).

But hey...for some reason, Vindman just torpedoed her plan. He put in for retirement.

LOL!!

Someone tell Duckworth to take a load off her pegs and sit the **** down.

Bull crap.

What do her injuries have to do with her politics.

Please explain.
 
Totally irrelevant.

She either despises the US or thinks being open to despising the US will gain her political support.

She believes our founding fathers are to be ashamed of. Shame on her

Not irrelevant at all. Where do you guys come up with this sh**? It's like you're all on another planet or something. You know what, it's OK. You are so wrapped up in Trump, it will be just devastating when he looses big. I very much look forward to reading all the CTs come this November.

Irrelevant.

You don’t care she lost one skin cell. You are using this purely as political sophistry

Totally irrelevant to the respect due to the country’s biggest political figure

A tv mouthpiece who has never served calling a disabled combat veteran "unpatriotic" is "unpatriotic"
 
Irrelevant.

I am using it to show that she is neither a coward nor is she unpatriotic. She is, in fact, a shining example of bravery and patriotism, especially considering that after losing both of her legs in combat, she obtained a medical waiver so that she could still serve her country in the National Guard.

And you call her unpatriotic...

And this fool that isn't fit to wash her car calls her a coward:

Yes it does. George Washington. This country would not exist as such without him

Idol worship is a commandment violation, I cannot condone it.
 
When did she say that?

By refusing to defend monuments to the country’s premier founding hero. If you’re going to condemn tucker you should’ve watched his show on the night in question and you would’ve seen the comment in question

You're not a coward today but brave yesterday. Cowards allow fear to stop them from doing what they should do. They can't dominate fear. If she refuses to appear on his show(and there's no reason why she should) it's not because she's afraid to. That slimy lowlife attention whore is just taunting her. Do you know of any reason why him calling someone a coward means that yes, they're a coward?
The rightists here are only saying she's showing cowardice because Carlson said she is. The shepherd whistles and points over there and the sheep all say, "Baaa! Baaa!" and herd themselves over there.
You lot look pretty bad here. You lot are degrading yourselves for the sake of agreeing with an asshole.

She is. Fighting in a war does not equal patriotism, nor does it confer a forever shield from criticism. If it did there should be no controversy over Lee because he fought in the Mexican American war

Meaning likely “more” then you’ve done

Which was before he became a traitor.

Duckworth isn't immune from criticism because of her service.
