Anyway, I asked for no more political stuff to be forwarded to me and I'd rather make up my own mind.
Thanks, what I figured.

Are you going to contact the person who sent it to you and inform them that they are spreading lies?

Spreading lies? I don't look at most information passed in that manner. People have strong political emotions and I could easily ask those questions about things posted about Bush or Obama or McCain.

FTR I did send them the snopes link.

I understand this wasn't aimed at me, but its funny - I have told my mother that numerous times and hit "reply all" to her emails refuting the garbage spread. I don't get too many of them from her anymore.

good for you. There is too much ignorance in the world already to be spreading false stuff around.

Oh, and I forgot to mention it came from my wife. Who got it from one of her best friends who is the wife of a WO-5 and one of the most senior WO's in Army Aviation. I am sure she got it from someone else as well. I will just have to make sure the wife passes on the Snopes link when I get off work in another 36 hours.
