My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.
I stopped reading at this point. 95 and no wrinkles? Either he is a liar or senile. Actually he would be a liar if he is senile considering he claimed to be mentally alert.

I'm going for senile. He claims that he retired "as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate." but that title didn't exist on 1957 & is a honorary title given to him in 2007.

"In 2007, to recognize his many years of voluntary service as the Navy's goodwill ambassador in Hawaii, the Commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Admiral Gary Roughead, promoted Harold to the honorary rank of Pacific Fleet Command Master Chief. "

Pull this old bastard's plug already, because he's obviously got one foot in the grave.

In all the retorts and personal attacks, I noticed that no one rebutted his accusations.

Which means that though he is correct in his observations, his conclusions are anathema to the supporters of BHO.

Does that mean the supporters of BHO share disdain for America, the sacrifice of her military, and her accomplishments?

Well, I hope they're happy when the nation collapses from runaway government spending, burgeoning taxes, oppressive bureaucracy, soaring debt service, and the crushing of the private sector. Perhaps they can find jobs in the new People's Democratic Socialist Republic of America, a utopia where everyone must share their wealth - or else.

Or perhaps we didn't bother reading his entire crazy rant. As stated, 95 and no wrinkles, either a liar or senile, or both. I read one sentence and that was enough. The crazy bum at the train station tells me he is related to George Bush, do I offer a rebuttal? Does this mean I agree with him?
