Oliver North called America’s new youth gun-control activists “civil terroristsâ€; the movement’s public face trolled back Thursday with an Iran-Contra joke.
David Hogg took to Twitter to mock Mr. North, the new president of the National Rifle Association as someone who knows all about terrorism.
Mr. Hogg retweeted a Salon article commenting on an interview with The Washington Times in which Mr. North said of the Florida school-shooting victims such as Mr. Hogg, “They’re not activists — this is civil terrorism.â€
The teenager replied: “#OnTheContra you would know about terrorism, wouldn’t you?â€

Eh, Iran Contra didn't have anything to do with terrorism. It had to do with Communism.

Someone keeps whispering sweet idiocies into little Attention Hogg's ear, and he regurgitates them without a clue.

Hadn't heard from the little piggy in a while. I thought he might have finally gone away.
No such luck. Like a bad penny he will continue to turn up.

North also knows about valor, having two purple hearts & silver and bronze star with a V.
Such a big mouth for such a scrawny little teenager.

So true, Hogg is ignorant of history and civics.

Which makes him a perfect tool for the left. He can go out and say nonsense that shows how ignorant he is in their reply is “why are you attacking a child?†when somebody correct him

It's a shame that our education system so failed little boss hogg and others on our nations history, well at least on its accurate history.

When Attention Hogg goes to war to defend this country and has enough shrapnel left in his body that it sets off metal detectors...then he can dare to question LTC North.
Otherwise he needs to sit down STFU and learn about all the things that North did to defend this country...to include the Achille Lauro hijacking.

Why if they are whispering information in his ears, does he spout it out of a much lower orifice?

Exactly. Which makes Ollie one of Hogg's main enemies. Hogg represents the radical left now, IMO.

This from Wiki (which actually gives fair treatment to this part of Colonel North's life's story):
U.S. Marine Corps career
North served as a platoon commander during the Vietnam War, where during his combat service, he was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star Medal with Combat V, and two Purple Heart medals.[6] At the time of his being awarded the Silver Star, Second Lieutenant North was a Platoon Commander leading his Marines in Operation Virginia Ridge. North led a counter assault against the North Vietnamese Army, as his platoon took on heavy machine gun fire and rocket propelled grenades. Throughout the battle, North displayed "courage, dynamic leadership and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of grave personal danger".[7] He then became an instructor at The Basic School in Quantico, Virginia.
In 1970, North returned to South Vietnam to testify as a character witness at the trial of LCpl Randall Herrod, a U.S. Marine formerly under his command who, along with four others, had been charged with the murder of sixteen Vietnamese civilians in the village of Son Thang.[8] (North claims Herrod had previously saved his life.[9] Herrod and one other were acquitted.[10]) North was promoted to captain in 1971 and served as the commanding officer of the U.S. Marine Corps' Northern Training Area in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.[citation needed]
After his duty in Okinawa, North was assigned for four years to Marine Corps Headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. He was then promoted to major and served two years as the operations officer of 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, commanded by then LtCol John Southy Grinalds, 2nd Marine Division in Camp Lejeune at Jacksonville, North Carolina. He attended the Command and Staff Course at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, and graduated in 1981.[citation needed]
North began his assignment to the National Security Council (NSC) in Washington, DC, where he served as the deputy director for political–military affairs[11] from 1981 until his reassignment in 1986. In 1983, North received his promotion to lieutenant colonel,[12][13] which would be his last.
During his tenure at the NSC, North managed a number of missions. This included leading the hunt for those responsible for the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing that killed 299 American and French military personnel, an effort that saw North arranging a midair interception of an EgyptAir jet carrying those responsible for the Achille Lauro hijacking. While also at the NSC, he helped plan the U.S. invasion of Grenada and the 1986 Bombing of Libya.[11]
During his trial, North spent his last two years on active duty assigned to Headquarters Marine Corps in Arlington, Virginia. He submitted his request to retire from the Marine Corps effective May 1, 1988, following his indictment for conspiring to defraud the United States by channeling the profits from US arms sales to the Contra rebels in Nicaragua. After his trial and his appeal, all charges were dismissed.[14]
He had 20 medals. The character portrayed in your avatar would have greatly respect Colonel North.

To be honest,the only news outlets that keep breathing life into this kid's antics are conservative.

North was a Marine through and through. Most certainly one to put into the category of patriot.

I didn't realize he was such an expert on incidents from 13 years before his own birth.
