Thread Name: BS: Were Vietnam veterans spat upon?
Subject: RE: BS: Were Vietnam veterans spat upon?
Dear Rick:
I had a criminal law professor at NYU, who once said, When you use a bamb, it is always a depraved heart killing.
The baby killing was not just crazies killing kids in retaliation for the damage of war, in fact, I agree with those who said that seldom happened. However, Naplam, landmines, all the many indescriminating ways we killed in Viet Nam killed kids, and I brand that the for of murder refered to as depraved heart killing. Whats more, I dont hold the individual soldier responcible, because it was this democratic nation that launched the killing. We as a nation were child killers, and for a rather piss poor reason.
I have to repete, that when the Vets returned, the real baby killers, the US government, THEY turned their backs on the vets, not the anti war movement. The government spit on the vets and the government policies killed the kids - theirs and ours.
In hopes of a democratic future, you old red pal...
