Republicans Thank All Veterans

Even veterans of the Soviet Navy:

Did they just buy a stock photo of an old veteran and nobody even looked at it?

Well, it could have been worse. They could have used a photo of this guy:

I think it's a Red Navy uniform on the old guy but I could be wrong.; 11/05/2011 11:36 AM

Eck! said...: what in the worlds of photo hackery?

I had to look up what it was to find out it was the campaign poster against Herring by his competitor.

Between the caption and the photo I could only see Russian officer with
a chest of distinction 9serious medals) and the name of someone vaguely germanic. This is fail.

Oh the stupidity.

Eck!

Comrade Misfit said...: Personally, I think that the West owes a debt of thanks to the veterans of the Great Patriotic War for, if the Wehrmacht had been able to throw its full weight into opposition of the Normandy landings, I suspect the invasion would have failed.

But I doubt if that is what that political candidate intended.; 11/05/2011 10:28 PM
Comrade Misfit said...: Fixer, you're right, I should have caught that. I fixed it. Thanks.; 11/05/2011 10:29 PM

Anonymous said...: Reminds me of a story I read once, about a veteran who was involved in some minor charge, talking to his lawyer before the trial:

Lawyer: "The Judge is a veteran. Were you a veteran?"

Defendant: "Sure was. I served four years, killed a lot of the enemy, and even got to see General Patton near the end of the war."

Lawyer: "Great."

They go to trial.

Judge: "A veteran? Good. So am I. Were you wounded?"

Defendant: "Yes your Honor, I was wounded in the Ardennes."

Judge: "The Ardennes! I was in the Battle of the Bulge too. What unit did you serve in?"

Defendant: "The Ninth Panzer, your Honor."; 11/07/2011 1:56 PM

The Red Army killed 80% of the German soldiers who were killed during the course of the war. So yeah, that's pretty much a given.

Still doesn't make a Republican honoring a Soviet veteran any less hilarious though :).
