You probably don’t recognize his name, you hardly remember the reason that you should – he was the pilot of the aircraft that a Chinese pilot damaged forcing the intelligence gathering aircraft to land in China. Osborn and 23 others were held and interrogated for 12 days by the Chinese. You know, back in the days before the war on terror. Well, Osborn is contemplating a run at the Senate seat for Nebraska, after continuing to fly operations in the war on terror. But, I’m all for him just on the basis of this one quote<\/a>; \u201cIf I can take 12 days of communist Chinese interrogations, I can certainly handle Harry Reid on the Hill\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt goes back to growing up with a single mom who ran the veterans\u2019 home in Norfolk, Nebraska,\u201d he said. \u201cHearing those veterans and their stories and then going on to serve in the Navy. There is a saying we have in the Navy, \u2018Not on my watch.\u2019 And I think that applies here. I refuse to sit back and watch this country decline.\u201d<\/p>\n

Osborn, who also flew missions in Afghanistan, said he sees himself as part of a new generation of veteran leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver a decade, war has created a lot of leaders, and these people understand how the world is and they understand that everybody loves America, and they understand the importance of getting this country back on track,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s why you\u2019re seeing veterans step up and realize they got to you know they’ve got to come out here and fix things in Washington, it’s not just overseas.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’d like to see a conservative veteran from Nebraska finally. The last one was RINO Hagel. <\/p>\n
