Sort of a rant....

Not sure if anyone watched his live show the other night while he was at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, but if you did, here was what happened.

I'm stationed at BAF right now and was in the audience for this show. (Not voluntarily, we were literally forced to go to this show per a lawful order in a FRAGO)

So we show up, 2 hours prior for some reason, and they seat us. After some stupidity, they begin rehearsals. He tells us how he is going to open with a couple of questions which we will now practice. One of the question, "Are we going to win this damn war!?!?" Nobody says anything. He tells us he wants us to scream, "HOOAH!" if we are going to win the war and to try again. Geraldo inquires, "Are we going to win this war?!?!?" Still, no body really says anything. I ask the guy next to me, "Can he define win?" and it gets a few chuckles. While there is a lull I take a quick poll to see who came voluntarily, turns out no one in my vicinity did. The Major General then gets up on stage and tells us we have to sound off when he asks. Talk about coaching and some propaganda for back home. What a joke. I was very, very, disappointed with everything. I wasn't even able to hear the crap those two were spewing on air. I know at one point he said, "There are no more safe havens left in Afghanistan." That brought a chuckle.

End rant.

I'm sorry it is like this.

You are doing your end of the deal. The ones at home are supposed to do theres.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Geraldo is a joke, the only reason I even know his name is due to him getting hit in the face with a chair.

Yeh, ya gotta love the hype types.....corporate, sports, political....they are all the same. Stand up, spew a few lines of nonsense, and expect the puppets to fall all over themselves cheering and agreeing and worshiping.

BAH !!

If ya really want a laugh over that type of B-S, try sitting in on a few "motivational" sales meetings.

Ya walk out thinking "I cant believe morons like this are allowed in public"

Thanks for posting this to reveal a teeny bit of propoganda.
I LOVED how desperatly hard he tried to find a gripping story during some past weather situation (forget which one) He saw a guy in the water, and started screaming "There! Stranded! There's a person stranded! A Person!!!"

Then, they see it's some calm guy repairing something, looking at G like he was nuts.

Rode the elevator w/ him a few times, never spoke to him. Heard he was a d1ck, though.


Heh, found it:

Rivera also brought back footage of . . . Something Dramatic Happening. While out taking in the weather, he and his crew spotted a man bobbing in the water. "There's a person! Stranded!" he exclaimed excitedly. "There's a person! Stranded! . . . I'm telling the cops here. He's drowning! He's got a lifeline. Oh, my God."

The "drowning" man actually looked like a Coast Guardsman or maritime professional with life jacket and tether line who was trying to secure a loosely moored vessel. It was hard to tell, and Rivera didn't. After showing his video of the scene, he didn't bother to follow up with an explanation of what had happened.

0:52 into it...
what a dumbass...

OMG! He's SWIMMING!!!

OMG!

LOL

I don't understand why Geraldo is even over there with the troops, anyway. He was kicked out of Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom, for revealing mission details on TV. And now he's over in Afghanistan? I'm sure Al Qaeda will be watching his TV show with interest.

I wish he was white.

He is such an embarrassment. there are tons of white idiots on the air so he would just be another idiot but no. He sticks out like a brown peacock being one of the relatively few Latino personalities.

What a schmuck. In case you are wondering he is made fun of in the Latino community.
