Thread Name: Veteran's Day (songs for)
Subject: RE: Veteran's Day
Folks, this is it in a nutshell. Why so many veterans, especially of the Vietnam war, have committed suicide. They were goaded to death. Younger people, perhaps if you haven't seen this in person, you don't know. Print this thread out and keep it. This type of stuff happened constantly and has only in the last few years died down. This is what we went through after the war when we should have been healing. I guess we will go through it until we die one way or the other. It is not someone just being insensitive, as others have been, but I can tell the difference and write it off usually. This is someone who knows what buttons to push and will do it regardless of the consequences. This country will get what it as a whole deserves sooner or later, which is a terrible threat and not the human resources to defend against it. Don't bother asking yourselves why.
