Take Limbaugh off AFN

Rush Limbaugh has proven he no longer deserves to be a voice the .
soldier, Marine, airman and seaman needs to hear.

How dare he attack a Purple Heart recipient (“Democrats chide Limbaugh
over ‘phony soldiers’ remark,” article, Sept. 30)!

He has lied about a [reported] butt boil that kept him out of Vietnam,
he has lied about his prescription-drug use, and he is telling lies
about decorated military members based merely on their insistence that
poorly researched decisions have caused unnecessary . deaths and
injuries.

How often does an individual such as Limbaugh need to bite the hand
that sustains the . in foreign and domestic disputes before he is
banned from American Forces Network Radio?

“Rusty” Rush Limbaugh must be taken off the air by AFN.

How do I explain to my children that AFN Radio allows [such]
individuals to disrespect honorably separated military members,
severely wounded while protecting our way of life?

It is hard enough to explain the dedication and resolve necessary to
perform missions where an individual has an extremely high chance he
will lose his life or be permanently maimed without having to try to
find a reason why a questionable person such as Limbaugh can deride
military members who have taken the mission of protecting our freedom
at such sore cost to themselves.

He speaks disrespectfully of people I want my young sons to hold up as
role models.

Get him off the air, please.
