Related: About this forumSo, today FoxNews aired a special interviewing 14 wounded warrior heroes ...
from what I could tell (from the part I saw on TV earlier today) the majority of the folks on the stage were amputees (no different than Tammy Duckworth)
Wounded warriors inspire with tales of heroism

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with airing a story such as this on the 4th of July - BUT...
But what I find highly offensive is that tomorrow FoxNews will probably NOT 'call out' Joe Walsh for his despicable comments towards Tammy Duckworth and they probably will not even cover the Walsh/Duckworth issue at all.
Anyone that is not familiar with what Walsh said please see the two articles on the links below:

(3,032 posts)When you make it honorable to fight an illegal war you are making it hard to attack it. Because then they can play the "you dont support the troops card".
These poor guys were suckered into a meat grinder by the rich fucks who profit from it. Then they are used as a PR ploy.
They are victims.

(47,675 posts)FOX doesn't give a shit about facts, America, or anything that doesn't make the GOP and Murdoch score points.
It's disgusting that they would even try to do something like this on Independence Day. There are no values in that so-called "news" company.

Fox is an Australian's war on America. No offense to Aussies, but Australia was where England sent their worst criminals. They sent their worst asshole fundies to this country, and "Christian Love" mean giving smallpox-infected blankets to indigenous Americans, then hunting down those who survived, and anyone who brought back a scalp with black or dark hair was paid handsomely. The Indins didn't start the scalping--they only did it in retaliation, tit-for-tat.
