Subject: RE: BS: Were Vietnam veterans spat upon?
Guest and Bobert, did the spitting happen, yes it did you both acknowledge that. Was it done in the name of anti war protesters.

Bobert you admitted that there were those who did spit, it went both ways, does that make it right, does that mean we negate the feelings of those who were spat on because some one spat back? You have just justified the actions of some of the anti war activists who think it is right to take such actions. You have defended them by saying what you said,that implicates all activists.

Human nature being what it is, with the strong sense of loyalty and protection people have for each other, is it too hard to understand how people feel when one person spits on one vet. Bobert spit on anyone in uniform you may just spit on the whole Army.

With the incidents posted, I ask if that person had the opportunity to spit on all the military would they have done it? That's were the insults lie it is the principle of the thing your attacking what they stand for, your not much of a soldier if you do not have pride for your uniform and what it stands for.

Spit on the American flag and you've spat on every American not too hard a concept to understand and apply to the above.

Guest I have haven't a lot of time for you, Big Mick has shown you for what you are, I think it's a shame that others encourage you and your disengenuous rants.

I totally agree with the sentiments of anti war, no one should go to war, the problem I have is with the tactics that some use and when they decide to use them.

One thing though Bobert as you say you worked tirelessly to end the V.Nam war what in heavens name did you think those poor buggers who were in V.Nam doing. These people have my respect and I believe they are very special people, as they not only take the good times of being an American they also took the bad. Is that not what it is about the rough with the smooth?
