An interview with Edgar Harrell (USMC) USS Indianapolis survivor and World War II veteran, and author of the new release Out of the Depths with his son David ...
Your comments about grandpa being senile and old codgers and a typical old
man are insulting, offensive, and more than a little repulsive. Tell me,
mr. gnostichumanist, how long were you in the service and what war did you
fight in? I think you're an idiot and a troll for saying it. Maybe you'd
like to spend a week in the ocean surrounded by sharks and watch your
buddies being killed and eaten by them. But I doubt that you have the
balls.
Don't...see the problem, really. Where is the offending color? On the
emblems? It is, like, 10% of the monument, and they are the right colors,
aren't they? It's not like they splashed it in teal and purple polka dots!
I am all for preserving historic monuments, but this is a conservative,
subtle improvement--not blasphemy!
It looks really good and shows someone cares enough to maintain it and
restore it. That grandpa is just senile and wants to have a typical old-man
complaining session. If no-one painted it he woud probably be complaining
about no-one caring enough. You can't win with old codgers like this.
at first, I could not see the problem-but now I do: the monument is, in
effect a public TOMBSTONE- and you do not paint a tombstone!...not to
mention the fact that the surviving sailors; the men it was built to honor,
do not like it!
Then lets paint the Martin Luther King Jr memorial in DC. Or at the
engraving of his "I Have A Dream Speech". You know. Add a little "color".
Oh, wait. That would be offensive.
