Lawrence Colburn Is What An Actual Hero Looks Like

Larry Colburn was a legit hero.  A young man trapped in a shitty situation who stood up against murderous thugs to protect innocent lives is what a hero is.  67 is too fucking young for a man like Colburn--but Colin Powell will probably live to be 1000.  Obama should have taken a couple of hours on the tee vee to explain to America what exactly Colburn and Andreotta and Thompson did in Vietnam and why it was so fucking heroic and so fucking important.  But no, that would have upset too many of the exceptional American cretins, and done too much to call attention to what is going on all over the world today in our far-flung and exceptionally cruel and exceptionally violent exceptional American Empire.
