Unlike Vietnam, there is not an organized left wing anti war movement over the US funding the Ukraine/Russia war

[marvin martian]

Why is it the Vietnam and Iraq wars were bad, but this war is good?

All war is bad.

Are there still anti war organizations out there lobbying politicans to end all wars?

The Iraq War protests were not anti-war, they were anti-republican, hence their total disappearance when Obama was elected.

You should ask Bill Ayers and the ones who participated in Chicago, if they were anti-war.

Where are their counterparts on the left now? It sounds like they're all gung-ho about us getting involved in Ukraine.

They were not anti-war. They conducted terrorist warfare right here in the US.

It wasn't an anti-Vietnam war movement, it was an anti-draft movement and an excuse for anarchy.

Epitaph Carved on the Vietnam War Memorial: PROUD TO DIE TAKING A RICH KID'S PLACE

It was led by richkids who would have been outraged if troops from the White working class were glorified militarily, as they had been after World War II. There's no way they'd be motivated by fear of the draft. They were Fortunate Sons and would never have been drafted.

To hide their snobbish contempt for fighting men (there is no Coat of Arms in this aristocracy), some of them performed fake service in the National Guard or Reserves, because their politically powerful Daddies made sure that those units would never be activated. In fact, President G.H.W. Bush intentionally activated them during the Gulf War to make it look like his son and his Vice-President, the Kokomo Commando, could have been activated to fight in Vietnam.

Once Obama was elected they announced a formalized withdrawal timeline. The protests accomplished their goal so they ended.

Revisionist history makes you look like a hack.

The Weathermen and the Weather Underground were not anti war. LOL.

Yep, they're trying to re-write that one too. Vote them out ladies, for histories sake.

 

[Moonglow]

LOLOL that's good. Those holier than thou dirty hippies didn't care about civilian deaths in the vietnam war, they cared about their own sorry asses. Thanks for the verification.

Damn that Trump!

This is a GREAT point.

The Canadian troops are not "on the ground", but just conducting training, behind the lines.


Canada has 200 troops stationed in Ukraine under the banner of Operation UNIFIER, who are there to train Ukrainian armed forces and the national guard.

Justin's Janissaries

All the Russian have to do to neutralize those Canuck troops is to toss
them some hockey pucks, and they'll soon be fighting among themselves.

Not all wars are bad. Fighting Hitler and Tojo was justified certainly.

I see our support for Ukraine as justified in light of the fact that they were invaded by a neighboring state trying to expand their presence on the world stage...not unlike Hitler's attack on Poland, France, Russia and Britian (not to mention all the smaller states he gobbled up)

We spent almost two years supplying arms to the people who were attacked then...and that's what we are doing now

Most people agree

^ Chickenhawk much?

But we get it - Democrat wars GOOD, including World War III.

Democrat wars good!

The fuck they weren’t anti-war.

Notice no one bitched about Afghanistan

You can't be "anti-war" when you're committing acts of war.

Damn right!

They were not anti violence. They didn't bomb soft targets and they always gave the authorities warning of where and when they were going to explode. Their bombs killed only Weathermen.

No response to that??

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Damn right!

HeirDads Deserve to Be Punished for the Sins of Their Offspring

More proof that the hippies were Republican-born Preppies is that when that formerly Conservative clique first started their richkids' in-your-face Hippy fad, anyone with a beard or long hair would never be able to get a job. So, like the descendant of the Right-Wing Speaker of the House in 1799, degenerate drug addict Edie Sedgwick, they never needed to work because their trust funds paid for all their childish escapism.
