Regardless of his belief, I piloted many planes owned by the United States Air Force. He supplied a Facebook screenshot of me standing beside a T-38 trainer which I flew as well. I would not assert the U.S. Air Force has a habit of letting civilians onto cases to conduct photo ops next to 18 million dollar aircraft, I will simply let the picture stand on its own merit.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Steve Cushman is a smarmy little prick. I&#8217;ll bet we can find a hundred pictures of our readers standing next to aircraft and not one of them will try so hard to convince you that they are pilots as this weasel. In his emails to me, he tried to make it sound like I&#8217;m illiterate and can&#8217;t read military records. I don&#8217;t what was to misread &#8211; the Air Force said that he had never served in that branch, as a pilot or head bottle-washer.<\/p>\n<p>Funny how when I wrote back that I was turning his complaint over to our lawyers, since he threatened legal restitution, he shut right the f*ck up. <\/p>\n<p>Larry Roberts who filed the complaint with the Florida Election Commission said;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI flew hundreds of missions in Southeast Asia as a Marine Corps pilot during the Vietnam War with men who fought for our country,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cFor Cushman to try to put himself in a league with my comrades makes me very upset.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Cushman isn&#8217;t in the same league with whale shit. He&#8217;s an idiot, a liar and a coward. Anyone who votes for him in the Wakulla County Election should be barred from ever voting again.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Green Thumb for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Florida Election Commission thinks it fine that a candidate can completely fabricate a military career &hellip; <a title=\"FL Election Commission rejects complaint against Steve Cushman\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=54838\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">FL Election Commission rejects complaint against Steve Cushman<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":51879,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-phony-soldiers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=54838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54838\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/51879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=54838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=54838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=54838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
