My father did two tours in Vietnam. The second one during the tet offensive… he was a door gunner in Huey gunships. I could not believe when he told me when I was a kid they just had to line up and get sprayed with agent orange over there. Not near them…. Directly on them. Crazy? He has long term health issues and so do some of his grandchildren as I guess it skips a generation.

Biggest upsets were Aleksanjan and Nao. Although, 77 kg is a turnover machine and Nao secured the ultimate prize already (something that Akzhol may rue till the day he retires) I'm not sure what Aleksanjan's plans and motivations are. Just try again at the Olympics? He keeps finding creative ways of losing. And where is Milov? Injured? Wins Euro gold and then disappears, great. I think Bisultanov is the most talented rep at 87 kg but I get the feeling that Losincz is starting to mentally own some of the other medal contender wrestlers (Komarov, Novikov, Takacs). Want to see how Emelin does. I don't think any truly great wrestlers are in his bracket, but Emelin would be another rare bright spot for another abysmal performance by Russia's longstanding standards.

Are you bad at sarcasm or reading? Re read the first few words maybe the point is there somewhere

if he was in Vietnam there is a good chance he was exposed to agent orange at some point. That chemical was so toxic. How they ever approved that chemical to be sprayed all around are men is unbelievable. It was used to kill the thick underbrush, but it also killed are soldiers.

This is a new level of dumb. He was 12.

War is "hell". War is "hell". War should be avoided at all costs. President Reagan had it right. Peace through strength.

No one should have gone to Vietnam. Losing well over a half million Americans for what reason? Worst mistake in American history.

What about Sergio Lemley??

I guarantee i pay more than your unemployed @zz does, posting on this forum all day long. Pathetic.

Obama didn’t write the draft board asking to be saved from the draft or get 17 boxes of deferments or max out his super white guy privilege either. But he also didn’t serve. You are correct. He did make up some political story that he would have had he had the chance though if I remember correctly.

He's a chicken hawk coward

You seem to have it backward. Why embellish the truth? He got out of serving before he talked tough correct? So how could he "back it up" if he hadn't even talked about it yet?

Obama's excuse was he was 12 when the draft ended. Maybe don't skip the google next time.

Why is she wearing a mask?

Good. Had never heard of him until 2 days ago.

That's sort of happening to Russian right now, with a lot of their C team caucus region wrestlers opting for Greco (since it's easier to make the team). The results have not been great.

I think Medved going 7 years unbeaten and getting the best of a rivalry with another legend (Ivanitsky) puts him at the top for me.

Burroughs has only one Oly Medal. That hurts him, in my book. Let’s be real. It Saitiev or Medved. Saitiev is the best, by far, in the last 30 years.

Fafo ha. Let the police do their job

Classy. Calling an old lady in a walker crossing the street Nazi scum. I wonder if anyone on this board supports that. Besides the two we know who do

I don’t know if this lady is a antifa. I didn’t check my online form repository. I do know she should be arrested for obstruction and whatever else they can charge her with.

@1032004 your boy destiny got demonetized

People forged papers to join early / under 18. People hid their ailments to join. That physical ailment (asthma) is laughable boss. What was Obama and Clintons excuse? Did one of them write letters to the draft board to help save them from the draft. I’ll save you a Google one of them did. And he had as many if not more deferments that Biden did.

Fox Business is saying my exact point. "ABC braces for a financial hit as Kimmel removal shuts out these advertisers... With the show sidelined, advertisers may seek cheaper rates or placement elsewhere." If ABC were worried about losing out on advertising $$ and viewers from the right then their actions over the past decade are pretty head-scratching. If the market forces are to blame then which option would have a bigger negative financial consequences? 1) Leave the program on and risk a boycott from viewers on the right and loss of advertising $$ that comes along with this 2) Take it off the air seemingly capitulating to the Trump administration and risk a boycott from viewers on the left whilst collecting advertising $$ at the rate commanded by re-runs of Celebrity Family Feud. Go with option 1 you are alienating people who aren't watching Kimmel's shows anyway. Advertisers looking to reach those individuals specifically likely don't advertise on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Go with option 2 and you alienate viewers that actually watch content you produce and take an even bigger hit from advertisers. It is entirely believable that ABC's preferred solution was an apology. This might not overly alienate viewers of any political persuasion, allow them to maximize advertising money, and thus allow ABC to recoup the largest % of the money they have spent/committed to producing Kimmel's show. A well crafted apology might also mollify the FCC and prevent any retribution from the Trump administration. I think that last point was the main goal with the apology. Losing MAGA viewers, losing advertising $$, and even alienating actual viewers of the network was not as important as Nexstar's merger and staving off FCC enforcement.

So he had a physical issue. Trump was just a coward though.
