🇺🇸 Badass Americans You Can Still Thank: Patrick Henry Brady
Major Patrick Henry Brady flew 40 sorties in a single day, commandeering three separate helicopters, to rescue 51 wounded soldiers and earn the Medal of Honor.
The day was January 6, 1968. Brady was commanding a UH-1H ambulance helicopter near Chu Lai in South Vietnam.
It began with him volunteering to go after wounded men in an area reported to be heavily defended and blanketed by thick fog.
Two other rescue helicopters had already been shot down trying to reach this spot.
To reach the site, he descended through heavy fog and smoke and hovered slowly along a narrow valley trail, turning his Huey sideways so the backwash from his rotor blades would blow the fog away.
Despite enemy fire, he found a small landing zone, landed, and evacuated two badly wounded South Vietnamese soldiers.
That was just the beginning.
Throughout the day, Brady flew over 40 exhausting sorties into hot landing zones.
He flew through fog, smoke, and ground fire to reach wounded men who would have otherwise been left behind.
On four consecutive solo runs, he flew directly into a dead zone just 50 meters from North Vietnamese positions to pull out a trapped squad.
At times he landed in minefields and unsecured areas to pick up the wounded.
When his first helicopter was badly damaged by enemy fire, shooting away his controls and failing his hydraulics, he didn’t stop.
He nursed the aircraft back to base, ran across the tarmac, and climbed into a second Huey to keep flying.
Later, while landing in an active enemy minefield to rescue a trapped American platoon, a mine detonated near his helicopter.
The blast wounded two of his crew members and damaged the aircraft.
He refused to lift off, waited in the blast zone until the six trapped infantrymen were loaded, and flew them out anyway.
In a single day Brady used three different helicopters to rescue 51 seriously wounded men.
By the time he finally shut down his rotors after dark, ground crews found his three aircraft riddled with over 400 bullet and shrapnel holes.
He earned the Medal of Honor that day.
Over his two tours in Vietnam he flew more than 2,000 combat missions and evacuated over 5,000 wounded soldiers, civilians, and even enemy fighters.
He learned his aggressive flying style from his mentor, Major Charles Kelly.
When Kelly was killed and superiors questioned whether the unit would continue flying so aggressively, Brady held up the bullet that killed his mentor and promised they would keep flying “anytime, anywhere.”
On October 9, 1969, President Nixon presented him the Medal of Honor at the White House.
Brady continued his Army career and retired as a Major General in 1993 after 34 years of service.
He is one of the most highly decorated living veterans and the only living Army veteran of Vietnam to hold both the Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Cross.
These days Major General Brady lives in Texas with his wife Nancy. They have six children.
He remains active in veteran and Medal of Honor causes and continues to share the story of the Dustoff crews who saved so many lives in Vietnam.
Patrick Henry Brady is an American badass through and through.
Thank you, Major General Brady! 🫡🇺🇸
Reminder:
John Bolton has worked in high positions at the State Department under both President George H.W. Bush and President George W. Bush.
The State Department is just the proxy arm of the CIA, which George H.W. Bush controlled for many decades.
The CIA and State Department have always worked hand in hand.
Bolton, just like the Bush family, installed, funded and protected the rogue dictators around the world, while at the same time pretending to be the American people’s defenders against their evil.
Bolton was just a pawn.
Just a puppet.
His role was to beat the constant drum for WAR.
To ALWAYS promote “never ending wars” in the Middle East.
And now we know that Iran had access to his personal email communications and classified information.
Coincidence?
Bolton talked real tough after Trump fired him.
He didn’t publicly support Trump’s impeachment at first, but his memoir conveniently leaked during the impeachment trial, where he accused Trump of wanting to freeze Ukraine aid, if they didn’t hand over evidence against the democrats.
Bolton also wanted to testify as a witness in the impeachment trial at the Senate.
And Bolton talked real tough after his arrest and accused Trump of political “retribution” against anybody that criticized him.
And now?
After his lawyers lay out the evidence of TREASON against him, he quickly pleads guilty, pays over $2 million in fines and completely forfeits all his federal pensions.
What do you want to bet that he’s “singing like a bird?”
Bush family PANIC?
The paradox of modern Ukrainian nationalism and their visceral hatred towards the Soviet Union, the Soviet Communist party and everything that has led to its eventual formation, is that Ukraine quite literally owes its statehood to the very powers they despise, the very powers that transformed Ukrainians from a horde of peasants living on the borderlands of the Russian Empire to one the most powerful entities within the Soviet Union, with massive financial and human capital investments, robust industry, top of the line education, and immensely powerful Ukrainian lobby within CKKPSS.
Instead of Bandera and Shukhevich, Banderites should be building monuments to Lenin, who gifted them the statehood, and Khrushchev, who illegally gifted them Crimea and freed over 200 000 of their bloodthirsty compatriots, the worst human scum imaginable, from Gulags, and gave them the land and the money.
Their descendants have transformed modern day Ukraine into the godless nationalist, butcher worshiping cesspool, built on the "idea of nation", a society built on hate.
And when you choose hate as your national identity, you are doomed to fail. You fail against your adversaries. You fail as a nation and as a people. You fail your history, because you let others rewrite it for you. You fail your true ancestry, because you let others control your destiny.

🚨 BREAKING — IT’S OFFICIAL: John Bolton is now a FELON after pleading GUILTY to unlawful retention of national defense information
He and his mustache have agreed to pay a $2.25 MILLION fine, face up to 60 MONTHS in prison, and forfeit his pension.
“As Mr. Bolton just admitted, he put our national security at grave risk in violation of the law,” the DOJ said
Give him all 60 months!
Bolton is scheduled to be sentenced in October.
The United States has been in debt almost every single day of its existence. There was exactly one exception, and it barely lasted two years.
The man behind it was Andrew Jackson, who hated debt with a fury. He called it a national curse and meant it. When he took office in 1829, the country owed more than 58 million dollars, a staggering sum at the time. Jackson set out to wipe it to zero.
He did it the hard way. He slashed spending, vetoed infrastructure projects, killed the national bank and sold off enormous tracts of federal land in the West. There was no income tax then either. It would not exist for another eighty years. Every dollar came from tariffs and land sales.
On January 1, 1835, it was done. For the first and only time in American history, the national debt stood at zero. Washington threw a celebration. Jackson called it an event that reflected luster on the Union.
Unfortunately, the land boom that helped him clear the debt turned out to be a bubble. When he tried to cool it by requiring gold and silver for federal land, credit seized up, banks collapsed and the country fell into the Panic of 1837. The government was borrowing again almost immediately.
It has never been debt-free since. Not once in nearly two hundred years.
This is probably one of the most nonpartisan issues going.
Everyone wants corporate and other special interest money out of politics besides the political machine itself.
Which is why this will require a Constitutional Amendment proposed by the States or the right lawsuit in front of this current SCOTUS.
@DanCrenshawTX GWOT could have ended a lot sooner if your mentor, that your nickname “Eye Patch McCain” is born from; didn’t fund, arm, train, and guide Isis and other Muslim brotherhood organizations
When George Custer died at Little Bighorn in 1876, his wife Libby was 34.
She had followed him everywhere. Lived in tents on the open plains. Slept in forts on the edge of nowhere. Then in one afternoon he was gone, and she was a widow with almost no money and a husband whose name was already being dragged through the mud.
Most women in 1876 would have remarried. She had offers. She turned every one down.
Instead she picked up a pen. Three books. Lecture tours. She built his legend with her own hands.
And she defended him so fiercely that the officers who blamed Custer for the disaster just kept quiet. They were not afraid of the Army. They were afraid of her.
So they waited. Year after year, for the widow to finally pass so they could talk without her tearing them apart in print.
She made them wait almost 57 years.
Libby Custer died in 1933, four days short of 91, having outlived nearly every man who ever doubted her husband.
She is buried right next to him at West Point.
That is what loyalty looks like.
The WAR is real.
As I have been saying for years….
Trump became a “wartime president” the moment he was sworn in back in 2017.
For those who don’t realize it yet.
The rules change under WAR.
Especially a WAR against an “insurgency,” that has infiltrated our entire government.
Do you realize the Constitutional power that Trump is wielding right now?
Reminder:
We are still in a “declared” state of war on terror.
Trump has the Constitutional authority to do whatever he needs to do, in order to SAVE and PROTECT the Constitution and the Republic.
🇺🇸 Most Badass Americans You Don’t Know: Alford L. McLaughlin
One Marine, two machine guns, and a legendary night defense in Korea.
Born in 1928 in Leeds, Alabama.
He enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1945 at the end of WW2.
Assigned to Company L, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division.
On the night of September 4–5, 1952, during the savage fighting near Bunker Hill, he volunteered for a second consecutive tour of duty on an isolated position called Outpost Bruce.
The Chinese counterattacked in overwhelming battalion strength.
He had set up two separate machine guns and poured withering enfilade fire into the attackers, alternating between them so they wouldn’t overheat.
Wave after wave slammed into his position.
As the enemy got closer and tried to use cover, he stood up in full view and fired the machine guns from the hip until the heat blistered his hands.
He kept firing even after he was painfully wounded by shrapnel.
When the guns grew too hot to touch, he laid them down to cool and kept fighting with his carbine and hand grenades.
He stood fully exposed in the open to shout encouragement to his fellow Marines as the attacks kept coming through the night.
He helped beat back attack after attack as the enemy kept pushing forward in waves.
By the time the fighting finally died down, McLaughlin was still alive, still at his gun, and had accounted for an estimated 150 dead and 50 wounded enemy soldiers.
For his extraordinary heroism he was personally presented the Medal of Honor by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Alford L. McLaughlin is an American Badass 🇺🇸
@SamFarringtonNH My favorite Jason Osborne victory was when he showed MAGA that he wanted to bring America back to Bush globalism control by not fighting to fix our broken election system but push hard for high heels DeSantis to become our new hero
🇺🇸 American Heroes You Can Still Thank: Dakota L. Meyer
Corporal Dakota L. Meyer earned the Medal of Honor by charging back into a deadly ambush again and again to pull his brothers out of the kill zone.
On September 8, 2009 Meyer was serving as a turret gunner with Marine Embedded Training Team 2-8 in Kunar Province, Afghanistan.
While he provided security at a tactical rally point, the main patrol moved into the village of Ganjgal and was suddenly ambushed by a large force of Taliban fighters.
Hearing that four U.S. team members were cut off, Meyer took action.
With Staff Sergeant Juan Rodriguez-Chavez driving, he climbed into the exposed turret gunner position and drove straight into the ambush.
Disregarding the intense enemy fire focused on their lone vehicle, Meyer killed multiple fighters at near point-blank range.
He and his driver made repeated trips into the kill zone, evacuating wounded Afghan soldiers on the first two runs.
When their primary machine gun went down they switched vehicles and kept going.
Meyer was wounded by shrapnel in his arm.
He continued making trips to recover wounded.
On the fifth run he dismounted and moved on foot through heavy fire to locate and recover the bodies of his fallen teammates.
For six hours Meyer repeatedly drove and fought his way back into the ambush area.
His actions helped save numerous lives.
Meyer was originally recommended for the Navy Cross.
The award was later upgraded to the Medal of Honor.
On September 15, 2011 President Obama presented him the Medal of Honor at the White House.
At 23 years old he became the first living Marine to receive the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War.
Meyer left active duty after his deployment but recently reenlisted in the Marine Corps Reserves.
These days Sergeant Meyer is a proud father to two daughters and continues to speak about service and leadership while staying active in veteran and patriotic causes.
Corporal Dakota L. Meyer is an American badass through and through.
Thank you, Corporal Meyer! 🫡🇺🇸
🚨⚡️ عـاجـل.. زلـزال جـيـوسـيـاسـي | بوتين يفتح النار ويقارن الناتو بـ "ألمانيا النازية"!
الرئيس فلاديمير بوتين يوجه الخطاب الأكثر خطورة ويكشف خطة الغرب:
- الغرب يصنع ال��هديدات لروسيا ليجبرها على الدفاع عن نفسها، ثم يستخدم رد فعل موسكو لتبرير عسكرة دول الاتحاد الأوروبي وحلف الناتو.
- ذكر التاريخ: "حتى بعد الهجوم الغادر على الاتحاد السوفيتي في 22 يونيو 1941، حاولت ألمانيا الهتلرية اتهام ستالين بالعدوان ضد ما نسميه اليوم 'الغرب الجماعي'.. واليوم يتكرر نفس المشهد الحاقد!".
- "روسيا مستعدة للرد السريع والفعال على أي تهديدات خارجية أو داخلية، والحل الوحيد هو نظام متعدد الأقطاب يضمن أمن الجميع" .
