Guys,I just watched the first episode of this show a couple of nights ago,and it's a real winner. IMHO,it is long past time these guys start to get a little bit of the credit they deserve for all the bravery and dedication they have displayed for decades,as they have winched into jungle and other hot spots while under enemy fire everywhere our men have been sent to fight,in order to rescue pilots and other air crew that were shot down behind enemy lines. People tend to not even consider the USAF when it comes to ground combat,but let me tell you these guys are a match for anybody in any branch of the military when it comes to courage,skills,and dedication to duty. Episode 1 airs again tonight at 8 PM,tomorrow morning at 1 AM,and Monday night at 6 PM. All on Direct tv channel 276,or where ever the National Geographic Channel comes on your system. Highly recommended!
Poster Comment: This is not your typical reality tv because it is IN FACT reality. Unscripted,and the camera crews just ride along when they are called out to rescue somebody. The people you see them rescue that are wounded are really wounded.

Thanks for the preview. I got rid of cable/satellite over a year ago. What types of aircraft do they normally use for their rescues? I'll guess helicopters.
cheney/rumsfeld lied. Colin powell lied to the UN. USSA needs another false flag from Israel....stat. And that Bulgaria Bullshit ain't gonna cut it.....;} Moreover, the passport and license of an alleged terrorist was found intact despite the raging fire in the bus”.
How you can tell the Meme is shifting under your feet. Hardly a post at LF in 24 hrs.....;}
does that mean you'll be leaving us soon?
war has to do something for entertainment; the voices in his head aren't speaking to him and his imaginary friends have found reasons not to come over anymore.
Good guess. It's the only kind they can use. They have to be able to go in,pick up the wounded and the bodies,and then be able to get out again before they are overran by the enemy. They are usually under fire going in and coming out because the enemy obviously know where the crash site is because they just shot down the aircraft. You ain't never seen anybody busy until you have seen a medic under fire try to treat the wounded and move them to a safe area while providing his own cover fire to keep the enemy off him and his patient. In the first show they went to a SF camp and rescued a SF guy that had stepped on a mine while on patrol and blown his leg off above the knee. It was hanging by a thread. They weren't actually under fire so much this time because they had the healthy SF guys more than ready,willing,and able to lay down a field of fire to keep enemy ground assaults at bay,but they did have a Taliban suicide team heading their way across the open ground in a bomb truck. The cover choppers kept firing flares to warn the truck to stop,but they refused and just kept coming. With the ground rules of engagement being what they are,they couldn't open fire on the truck until AFTER it got close and blew itself up and killed everybody on the ground,so time was still very critical and they still had to stabilize the wounded man and get blood and a IV going before they could move him. As luck would have it,it was the SF medic that stepped on the mine,so it was up to the AF medic to do it all by himself. This show is the only opportunity for people who have never been in ground combat to really see what it's like up close and personal,and to gain some real understanding on how bad it really is and what the guys have to go through.

You really need a long rest in a secure and padded structure.

Are you implying that Obama and Hillary lied any less with their malarkey about "democratic rebels", and "humanitarian assistance" drone bombing?
Gotta keep the lies in order of date received. And damage done. Example: cheney/rummy/powell lied to start the invasion of the Afghans/Iraq.
And you need to tell me why cheney/rummy.powell lying to start the invasion of the Afghans /Iraq doesn't bother you.....;} BTW....your gov't and Israel did 9/11.....and why does That not bother you either....;}
I live here, dude. Just noticing the echo.....;}
I don't NEED or HAVE to tell you a damn thing,comrade. Take a couple of your chill pills and get back with me on why it is you are convinced 9-11 was a Jewish/US conspiracy. Other than because the voices in your head tell you it was,of course. Just out of curiosity,is there anything that wasn't a Jewish/US conspiracy?

So I treat you like something off the bottom of my shoe.... your call, fundyZionist.....;}
Why do you think I'll even give you the time of day now....;} http://driftglass.blogspot.com/ These are the wedge issues the GOP dredges up cycle after cycle to crank the Base of the Party up to Scared Shitless and White Hot Loco just in time for each election. It is why the GOP can fuck up whole countries and leave entire American cities to die without fear of being voted out of office 99-to-1 in every district everywhere. Because if you give mouthbreathers enough fags, burning flags and Terror Alerts around election time it’ll crowd the entire record of Republican perfidy, bloodshed and failure right out of their itty bitty heads.

No. I'm Stating that Scalia started the Coup.. cheney/rummy/powell lied their asses off to ramp it up after they started the War of 9/11..... Obama et al simply played along with the script..... High Treason for all....8D
These babies can inject pressurized bullshit into the system at speeds varying from CNN to Fox to Limbaugh to Full Coulter. This is the Lie Delivery System, through which the air is kept thick with rightard trigger phrases like “feminazi” “activist judges” and “cutnrun” and squeegeed clean of anything resembling thoughtful discussion or honest debate. ;} Zygier, Sanayim, Mossad anyone? Anyone? Just like I thought......;}
cheney/rummy/powell lied their asses off to ramp it up after they started the War of 9/11..... I'm not connecting the dots to Scalia? The rest sounds right.
They used to use MH-53 Pave Lows but the Air Force retired them about five yeas ago or so. Not sure what they use now. My brother spent his entire 23 years in the Air Force as a Pave Low crew chief (they call them fight engineers) based out of either Hurlbert Field in Florida or Kirkland, AFB in New Mexico. Their mission was to support not only para-rescue but the entire specops community, especially in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He has done much more than just "play along." He is not only a made member of the two party fraud, he is the Don of the Democan criminal organization, the same way that Bush was the Don of the Republicrat criminal organization. It's disingenuous to present him and his crew of criminals as being nothing more than followers.
ROFLMAO!

You probably won't and if you did it would be wrong. BUT.....,you will continue to rant about Jewish and American conspiracies as long as you can draw a breath. It's who you are and what you do.

And you will continue to call everyone who disagrees with you a communist, because it's what you do. But first you need to buy a clue, because communism is a Jewish institution.
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET
That's not true. Some grow up to become adults,and morph into fascists. But first you need to buy a clue, because communism is a Jewish institution. You are batting 1000. Consistently wrong. Communism pre-dates Judaism.

You probably won't and if you did it would be wrong. rant? cheney/rummy/powell lying to get us to invade Iraq/the Afghans, a conspiracy? of course it is. War of 9/11 for the Dual Loyalty israelis? of course it is. rant?
ROFLMAO! ME TOO! 8D or you're paid not to understand. 8D
Nope....doesn't have a long enough 'pedigree'. Crown Family Chicago General Dynamics....
Nothing happens unless bush43 is installed. Scalia interferes in the Greatest of State's Rights to stop the vote count. Not once. But twice. at the exact moment that Gore is to take the lead..... First order of bizness in bush43's First Cabinet meeting: Iraq invasion....Paul O'Neill.....;}
algore lost because everyone knew that global warming was a fraud by 2000. By 2002 they knew that Bush was too, but Kerry was bad enough to get him reelected. The dems gave that election away by running a horrible candidate. It was the Republicans "turn". They've got to alternate presidents to give the illusion of choice. Both wings of the D&R party are always looking for a worse candidates than the last time. Both sides can honestly claim that they other candidate is an asshole. Works great for them. They ran Mittens a sure loser, to ensure that Obungler got reelected.
Yep....like I thought....you can't connect Scalia because your pay check depends on you not....;} Scalia stops Recount....Twice.... Where's States' Rights when you need em.....
And UR Serious that Even after obama was forced to utter the words: Climate Change Twice in the last two months in Major speeches that you Still don't believe the climate is changing?
Your paycheck depends on the global warming con game. How much do you get from the global corporate banksters for selling out America, 40 pieces of silver? It's still cold here, but the climate will change soon to spring. It happens every year like clock work.
It's still cold here, but the climate will change soon to spring. It happens every year like clock work. So why do you think that Israel wants to occupy all it's nearby high ground AND wants an outpost in the US? Hint. hint,.... it aint because of the Arabs. They KNOW there's global warming with rising sea levels, and are banking on you fundies remaining too ignorant (as usual).

I think your head is a couple of quarts low,and that if you don't get it checked soon you will die alone in a closet with a torn bed sheet wrapped around your neck. You're a smart guy,but being smart does NOT mean you are right or that you are not seriously mentally disturbed.

1 sentence at a time. The POTUS has resisted from the Mid 60's Polaris Missions til two months ago even Mentioning the words: Climate Change They had to be pulled out with a pair of vise grips. And you still think it's a con. At some point in the next 3 years. That's the Very Edge of the Envelope of Climate Shift where the East Coast is just ravaged year after year And Kansas City at 115 F begins to look normal. But this site will have shut down due to intermittent power failures before then....;} Good Luck on recognizing collapse before it hits.
BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA You'll need to source my confederacy with the banksters. Especially as Sneaky Pete and A K constantly rail at me for attacking the Jews.....;} And I'm profiting from Deflation which will last til the End of USSA Empire. About 4 more years. After that, we'll see how much civilization has collapsed already.....;}
You have YOU confused with "ME". You have all the analytic ability of a tapeworm. All you know is leftist doctrine,and you clearly don't even understand that. Your whole life and belief system is founded around class jealousy and the fear that somebody has something you don't.

Could be worse. Like many other posters here at elPee Lite and elPee itself, he could call posters who disagree with him gay. I mean, aren't commies still better than fags? :-)
Only if they are cuter than the 'fags' in question. ;-D
I'll bet you any amount of money stoney takes my exercise of humor in that last post as reality. ;-D
