Oh nothing much. Just your basic influence for money, bribery, perjury, favors for influence on DoD contracts.

See the ABC News story for the full story.

Same thing EVERY politician does....Duke just got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. His background as a war hero just made it all the worse. I was really disappointed when this all came out.

Connery, that's a pretty broad brush.

As the son of someone who has served his country as an Air Force officer, then was highly respected in the healthcare field, who decided to serve his neighbors as a Texas State Rep for 12 years and continues to serve in his second term as a county commisioner, I take great OFFENSE to your statement. :x

Maybe someday you'll be moved to become part of the system and someone who knows nothing about you will call you a corrupt criminal because after all, ALL POLITICIANS are criminals ! And people wonder why more people don't put themselves out there to run for office! :evil:

Back to F-4s on a pole.

I don't think all politicians are crooks by any means. But I also feel that we can honor the man that flew for this country, and his military record should be left alone. But I am one of those guys who thinks that Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame as well. I think that he did his name a huge dishonor, but he is paying for that now.

I believe Col. Robert Janca (Ret.) passed away in 2002.

In addition Col. Janca was also a Thunderbird, Left Wing 1959-61
