Perry seems to be like W.
He may occasionally do things that make you go    but there is no denying he is a good man.

In our country's history it was never necessary to question whether or not a person running for President would put America first. The last two elections changed that and boy, what a price we'll be paying for those elections. |

The term Quiet Professional is used in context with Special Forces, not Navy SEALs. Marine's aren't known for their reluctance to tell every soul about their time in either
This dude was broken physically and mentally. He reached out for help and it was given. Lots of people do that, whether through family, groups, friends, VA, etc. Many more decide to eat a gun. I have a hard time understanding why you'd question that. |

Luttrell is my personal hero for so many reasons, and Ive always loved Perry. Two great men, and to see one help the other, only solidifies it.

I don't know Perry that well and he didn't get the chance to express himself that well in the 2012 campaign. Politics is all about smoke and mirrors now anyway... an eloquent speaker (even with a teleprompter) beats honesty...

I don't think Marcus asked for help from the Gov. Office. He got help from Rick Perry , who happened to be the Gov. Don't know if this was pre Gov mansion fire or Post. He very well may have had someone who knew Rick and set up a meet at one of the houses. They are good people, pretty personable to boot. I've had the opportunity to meet Rick and Anita on numerous occasions as my Father and he were Freshmen Reps, elected in the same cycle. There was a 30 year age seperation, they became good friends. Rick is a former C130 pilot and flew the Collings B-24 right up Congress Ave over the Capitol.

He found it one day in spring 2007 when, struggling to recover his body and mind and with the horrors of war still raw, he showed up unannounced at the Texas governor’s mansion and asked to see Rick Perry. Over the ensuing months, a virtual father-son relationship blossomed, the two men said. The governor and his wife, Anita, helped bring Luttrell back to health. Perry used the power of his office to find Luttrell a spine surgeon to fix his back. The Perrys gave him a spare bedroom — "I was the creepy guy in the attic,” Luttrell recalled. The governor took him bass fishing, the first lady counseled him about his love life and, as Luttrell became famous — first with a best-selling memoir, "Lone Survivor” and later in the movie adaptation — they were his rock. "When I came into the Perry family, it was one of those deals where it was the only family I had,” said Luttrell, who was born in Houston and grew up in Texas near the Oklahoma border. "I didn’t have that father figure growing up like that, somebody who genuinely cared about me. .?.?. Governor Perry taught me how to be a good man.” Perry and Luttrell shared their story in an extensive interview with The Washington Post and in an appearance here Monday night at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. They are drawing attention to their unusual relationship as the now-former governor prepares to launch his second presidential campaign. (you can read the rest at the link) Maybe I'm misremembering, and I loaned the book out, but doesn't Lone Survivor talk about Marcus and his brother being taken swimming by their father? Or the family gathering at the ranch during his ordeal in Afghanistan? |

I didn't remember Luttrell badmouthing his father in LONE SURVIVOR. I pulled out my copy and reread several passages about his growing up and he speaks well of his father and the values that his father instilled in him.

There was a thread on DINOs a while back that I talked about how in the 90s and earlier it wasn't just a joke that a Texas democrat could actually be more conservative than a New York republican. That's no longer the case, state level party politics have aligned more closely with the national parties, and the Dem party has gone hard, hard left. |

A celibrity seeking veteran who has turned his fame into a fortune with a none-to-accurate bok and a fictional movie meets a politician in a highly unlikely feel good story pushed out by publicists? Zero chance of bullshit there.
I bet an amputee E-4 truck driver who had showed up at the governor's mansion demanding to see the governor would have gotten a nice intro to the criminal justice system. |
