Mg, Lt, Norton, et al. I am sorry for any pains that I have inflicted upon you or your memories of fallen comrads, for this has not been the spirit of this thread. The Vietnam War was a major foriegn polict blunder and we all got caught up in the devesation. No, you don't have to have memories of the guy on the flank gettign his brains blown out to appreciate ( for lack of a better word) the utter evilness of the motivations that brought about that war and for what motivations....

No, I was not rude to Lt, USMC, Vietnam. He was *rude* to me. We talk about terrorism. What is terrorism. It 's trying to scare folks, that's what it is. Nothin' more. Just, huff and puff and scare folks. There are a lot of vets here in Midcat that don't go arounf signing off "Lt,USMC,Vietnam". That's like a big ol'"Im Rambo, Punk! Get out of my f**kin' way, boy" sign up. Well, I stoof up to LBJ and Richard Nixon and the Richmond police trying to get *my brothers* out of an unwinable war and now, tonight, I gotta lick some Marines boots because he thinks he's got the market cornered on "righteosness". Wellm tell you the same think I told the Masters of War. Takes your war and shove it. You want to fight so bad, go do it your own selves and leave my working class folks at home with their families and their friends.

Hey, this was Vietnam. You want to *argue* the merits of that war, start another thread entitled, "Why we should have nuked Vietnam" but don't plan on no kicking this old boys butt for problems that you *think* he might have had back then with the returnoing vets, 'cayse not only will that dog not hunt... but that *dog* don't exist.
