“And in their drooling adulation of Sully, they actually slander the thousands of pilots who, like Sully, do their job every day.”

I must have misunderstood.

Perhaps the third paragraph in this article is a matter of writer error.

Is this inability to comprehend plain English a reflection on the public school system? I’m getting hay fever from all the straw men in this comments section.

John McCain was just doing his job when his plane crashed too. The fact that he was captured, imprisoned for five years, and tortured is something that is just part of the job. Any adulation Mr. McCain received for doing his job is an insult to all other veterans.

No wonder he lost.

Your article has clearly augered in. Your trying to
pick up the pieces is laughable.

Thing is, cedarford, your Leftist outlook offends me to my core. This devaluing of my culture’s values, trying to change my society into something else with your simply immature thinking, is repellant. The downplaying of heroism, of God, of patriotism, of individualism, in order to drive us towards some great collective, turns my stomach.

I heartily wish you would go peddle your trash on some Leftist site where you would be welcome. Why do you insist on posting here, where you’re not wanted? Why do you insist on continually offending us here? Do you get some thrill; some sense of power? Maybe you just like being contrary or arguing? If so, you need help. It is just not a healthy mind that does that.

I haven’t written anything against Captain Sullenberger, but this vile mischaracterization of what I wrote certainly slanders him.

So let’s all get our priorities straight, and now praise those bold innovators who contrived, for the first time ever, to keep an Airbus’ wings on the fuselage. And this time, it didn’t even fly itself into the ground.

These airplanes are so well-engineered, any washed up fighter jock could land one on water. Congratulations on writing down to your stereotype. Way to represent the old profession, there. Since there are no heroes, pencil-pushing dweebs the world over no longer have to hold their manhood quite as cheap. Simberg’s recovery is complete.

Everyone who has ever got on a jet – and appreciates that no other American pilot has EVER done what Sully did – can’t offer enough appreciation for a man like that pilot and his crew. The media are just people – like you or me, and in the same state of wonderment. Is Sully a hero? Not to the prik who wrote this article. The rest of us? let’s have a parade!
