I’m pretty sure it was more just tying it to a pole and shooting it with an a10 warthog Cannon

@@randomknight2585 suspiciously specific.

Except Metzenbaum did manage a comeback winning the other Senate seat in 1976. He would go on to serve three Senate terms from 1977 to 1995.

Pretty underhanded political move by Glenn since Metz never actually said anything about him never having a job. The critique was that as a career military man, he lacked knowledge of/experience with the business world...which potentially could be a fair argument to make. The biggest problem, other than how easily the words could be(and were) deliberately twisted around to deliver a political beatdown speech is that John Glenn was an executive for RC Cola after his military career. Ole Metz tried to pull a fast one and throw out some inaccurate statement to try and make Glenn look bad and it backfired BIG TIME. This didn't murder his career though, Metz woudl go on to serve 3 terms in the senate himself.

When he said " Some men, SOME MEN" thats what did it for me

@@kamarrliekkabar1595 the problem is people don't listen like you and I listen to the extent that they used to including of course those who previously would have been having been drafted only a few of which would have bothered to dodge. In that audience presumably and I'm hope I'm not getting this wrong were plenty of former draftees people who accepted their called to duty when it was literal and did not just need a job which is happening to an increasing degree unfortunately. I don't know if Senator Glenn was previously drafted? But make no mistake it isn't merely more than a job to be so called and survive serving it is __also__ a job. These days people calculate out their APPARENT SWABBING ETC. hours LOL ...do the arithmetic and complain that they're being paid what a manager at McDonald's makes; IN response to such a commenter I 'asked' an actual question however unanswered in time. The man had ENlisted and was bitter grumbling about his 'pay.' I asked him why he was overstating his [hourly 😆] income? I mean he could have been more generous about the number of hours he was on "duty." It's not a nine-to-five/[midnight EVEN] even if it is common to party hard even during 'school' nights. I'm very curious about the retention NUmbers of the volunteer forces because that data goes beyond the simple percentage and there has been a change from the draftees who enlisted optionally to serve Beyond the mandatory and those who either complain about the back door draft or have replaced the former optional term servers. This leaves us with a military with fewer of the 'men' the future senator referred to. . . fewer STILL of the women EVER especially. Most people when they think of the draft don't remember adequately enough that it was trivial to dodge it if you were a genuine conscientious objector it was *NOT* even illegal to do so. There is an antonym to the "CONSCIENTIOUS" and too many of the volunteers fit that bill this is why IN FACT we had HISTORICALLY the draft and why we DO need it to come back. SO SIR YES: Among the distinguished by such nuance as the simple alliteration for emphasis that you APPRECIATE plenty of them would not have 'VOLUNTEERED' ["mersinAeneasLee"??? ] but for the draft... We tolled that 🔔 For Whom The Ring of America could ultimately be best heard from. From the child of everyBody including scum buckets like the Trumps because even such a man can have a decent child you never know until you sent him to camp; you never know until you give her a "chance" Not RECRUITMENT to serve at least. Our military DOTH NOW trains TRAGICALLY FAR TOO OFTEN future not Samurai BUT there is a different word one without the positive connotations THAT when my brother took me to see Seven Samurai WHERE made VERY clear. The talent embues the character and vice versa. My brother enlisted late-in-life but he would have made a fine Soldier had he been drafted I'm sure. Even finer than he made until he was tempted to leave for what is PUBLICLY understood to be a contractor. Had he been drafted he would have never been recruited by the contractor but would have likely realized his dreams to follow in the footsteps of Senator Kerry- to work for peace literally in the Department of State instead of failing to get hired there ... eventually reluctantly enlist for something however-necessary/very-different.

And the oldest to ever go to space at 77, because John Glenn was a PT God.

Yut

@@david.s.williams gunny speech, baby

He essentially did when he said, "I'll tell you, Howard Metzenbaum, you should be on your knees every day of your life thanking God that there were some men - some men - who held a job." Pretty much a shot at Howard's lack of military service without directly saying the guy didn't serve.

Carefully

I just wish there was the unabridged recording easily available.

All the best 😁

It's been three years. How did things go for you?

sadly we do not

depedent on your view piont

@Hakageryuu And your comment...is why we don't have this kind of quality of leadership anymore. People like you that will be so quick to attack others. People like you are the reason we don't DESERVE this quality of leaders. We have the quality we deserve, because of people like you dragging us down to where it IS what we deserve...

@@SubduedRadical damn, nice clap back, especially with the first line!

@@SubduedRadical comments like those are pointing in the right direction. What we need now is a) for the majority of the populus to think this and b), and this is the crucial one, for people to take action, no matter how tough it may be, against the kind of leadership we have now.

And I'm still a god damn better lookin man than he is. I got 3 Air Force Commendation Medals, 2 Meritorious Service Medals and and an Air Force Good Conduct medal with 5 peanut clusters.

@@SocialAssasin You fool. Have you been asleep? Have you not seen what the Republicans have done, are continuing to do? It's a free Country, and you are entitled to express your opinion, and I support that. But wake the hell up man!!

@White Face Freedoms? What freedoms are you implying the Democrats would remove exactly? Be specific please and I will have discourse with you on the topic.

Spicer is a moron.

Anemone Spotted hey, Have a great day and cheers!

RIP Speice Marin

If Jonny Kim decides to run for office once he's done conquering Mars we might have another man like John Glenn.

@@orion3253 If John Glenn was trust worthy he would have told the truth about the moon landing that didnt happen...

@@samiam1254 Hah! You mean Apollo 18 and 19?

Ended the man's whole reputation. The guy is now only known for telling a veteran and former NASA astronaut who just so happened to be the first American to orbit the planet, that he never held a job. The level of arrogance to come up with such a line is astounding, but oddly fitting for someone that is seeking to be a politician.

He was on epsteins flight

ok

Howard was a democrat too and republicans are the one's with voters on welfare

Daniel Roden John Glenn was a Democrat

They were both Democrats lol. But one had a certain respect and personality that is rarely found, a state of being that transcends party. He was a PT God.
