DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY (And Hanging A Communist Chinese Flag on A U.S. Ship)
By Louis Turner

 

It is during times like these that the men and women that are in the armed forces wonder about their allegiance to the armed forces in which they serve. There are credible stories about soldiers having to ignore The Constitution of The United States, and to obey the commands of the United Nations Officers in order that they will not be court marshaled. This story is going to be a little difficult for me to write since there is a possibility that The United States Navy may be upset that this story has gotten out. I have purposely withheld the name of the Brave sailor who sent me his story and pictures for obvious reasons. This story is about The USS Constellation, and her crew that have been out to Westpack for the last 6 months. Apparenly The "Connie", had some serious trouble somewhere out on Westpack and managed to LOOSE 2 jet fighters. Their story, in which I lost the link to did not give a clear reason why they lost these planes. Days later The Connie pulled into Hong Kong and the sailors aboard noticed that the Communist Chinese flag was being flown on mast, and in the Hanger Bay. This is very disturbing considering that our Men and Women were asked to salute this flag. In my opinion I believe this is most reprehensible. Prolific Words of warning rise to the surface of my heart saying--
"I have ever deemed it fundamental for the United States never to take active part in the quarrels of Europe. Their political interests are entirely distinct from ours. Their mutual jealousies, their balance of power, their complicated alliances, their forms and principles of government, are all foreign to us. They are nations of eternal war. -- THOMAS JEFFERSON (1823)

I also would like to say that this sailor tried hard and took risks to send this picture, and his wife stressed the importance that We The People need to be notified about the condition of our Navy and its leaders. On the bottom of this page is the first copy of an email that was sent to me stating that no photo was available. 2 days later, he came through. We as Citizens have a Duty to let our leaders know that we will NO longer put up with being a member of The United Nations! It is time to bring Honor back to this great country. It is time to Rebuild America, and to take action without the help of the United Nations, to let them know that we will NO longer put up with Terrorist acts of war against our soil; and to let our leaders know that there will be ZERO TOLERANCE when it comes to flying the Communist flag aboard our ships!

Duty, honor, country: Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.
Gen. Douglas MacCarthur (1962)


Tyranny threatens on a constant basis. Nimrod and his tower is resurrected again at the socialistic oasis. Cowards drink from his bloody words of humanistic global vomit. Let US wash his mouth out with Constitutional Comet.

well I don't have it, sorry, but I can just tell you again, when we
pulled
into hong kong for several days, they hung up a huge chinese flag in
our hanger bay, alongside a huge american flag, they left both of them up the entire time we were in port, and there was also a chinese flag hanging from our mast as well.... every morning and evening at colors, they would play the national anthem's from our country and china.... I really apologize but, I don't have a camera, and was too busy with work and duty to borrow one to take any pictures and we are pulling out and they have taken them down....
again I apologize, I will ask around and see if anyone took any pictures of them.... (name withheld)  P.S. while on an armed sentry post on the ship during both the morning and the evening colors on multiple days, I saluted the flag and the american anthem while it was playing, but when they were playing the chinese national anthem I dropped my rifle salute and placed my rifle at port arms....
