Job well done, Sir.
We have the watch.
I joined the Navy to see the world, only to discover the world is 2/3 water!
Yup, Rip Basil Plumley.
Of note is that Galloway saying that Sam Elliot actually underplayed Plumley in the movie, he was even more grizzled in real life.
Though Galloway spoke well of Plumley, I would be loathe to use Galloway's name in the same conversation as Plumley.
What spews from Galloway's pen today is little more than liberal filth worthy of Reid, Pelosi, or Rosie O'Donnel.

If I've never seen it before, it's a new release to me!
You beat me to the punch - I waas going to post that CNN piece. Be sure to watch the embedded video.
shareGreat job of supporting the 1
st amendment. I swore the oath to support and defend the Constitution. You have a right to your opinion, so does Galloway. But is this the forum for Either? RIP Sgt. Maj. Plumley.
also as to Galloway's bona fides in 1998, Galloway received a Bronze Star with V for rescuing wounded soldiers under fire in the la Drang Valley of Vietnam in November, 1965. His was the only medal awarded to a civilian for valor during the Vietnam War. So the opinions of a peacetime sailor about the character of a decorated hero are about as valid as the opinions of a monkey about, well, anything.
