Back in the day if I said we were being brainwashed about Vietnam would that be sedition/treason?

[Sunni Man]

Protesting the war is legal and constitutional.
Jane Fonda crossed the line by giving aid and comport to the enemy.
She should have been arrested for treason when she returned from North Vietnam.

Not at all unlike the leftist assholes today, who want Murica to get into WW3 over Ukraine.

The best way to get into WW3 is to let Putin think he can get away with anything. It would also embolden the Chinese. Heard anything about them going after Taiwan since Vlad got his nose bloodied?

Thanks for that, Chimpy Bush......

 

[konradv]

She didn't just "question the war"....She openly collaborated with people whom the military was already engaged.

What war? There was never a declaration.

 

[Oddball]

Right now, I support providing Ukraine with weapons, humanitarian supplies and intelligence

Then you support escalation that could lead to WW3.

You are a ******* madman.

I support the defense of Ukraine as does most of the free world

I remember thinking so at the time.
You should never have been attacked. I never saw anything like that on the east coast.

Here in Florida, we gave them a parade. Free meals at Fat Boys BBQ and the Laotian lady gave them free meals at her restaurant. some of them along with my uncle was confused by it because they were fed propaganda that we all hated them. In reality, it was just fringe folks like today's Antifa.

Putin showed he was incapable of defeating Ukraine

He knows NATO would destroy him if he escalates

Let's leave the whole issue of the war in Ukraine aside for a moment so I can ask you a good question:

How can a country or military organization win a war they're too afraid to fight?

No idea what you are proposing?

I mean France, Britain or NATO cannot possibly win a war against Russia if they're too afraid to wage it in the first place (as they are).

 

[Woodznutz]

There was a lot of fear mongering and misinformation going on back then about the Domino theory and the evils of Communism

Most of America bought into it

Evidence that the crowd is always wrong (or they wouldn't be a 'crowd').

Not afraid but a quote from George Washington comes to mind. '' Wise Generals choose their battles and not let the battle be thrust upon them.''

Who says they are afraid?

Right now they are providing Ukraine with the weapons to kill Russians
Ukraine is not in NATO, we do not have to defend them
But we support them

Ukraine is not in NATO, but I have a strange feeling that if Russia invaded the Baltic states the fear of waging war on Russia would still be overwhelming.

Now... it's obvious that somewhere along the line NATO would take off its gloves, let's say, if Russia invaded a major eastern European country like Poland.

If Germany or any western european country was attacked war would be a certainty.

But I still think the fear of facing Russia would override a piece of paper signed by the baltic midgets.

 

[Woodznutz]

Those kids were right about the Vietnam War, they saw through the Bullshit

History has proven them correct

I was in the Army when the Gulf of Tonkin 'incident' occurred that was the justification for our entry into the war. Everyone knew it was bullshit but had no choice but to go alone with it. However, most of the young guys in my unit were gung ho and couldn't wait to go over there, even though we had no infantry training. Stupid.

 

[yidnar]

If Putin starts using Chemical Weapons, I would support US and NATO denying airspace

If Putin goes nuclear, all bets are off

if Putin goes nuclear it might lead to a nuclear war ! we are living in dangerous times .

Those of us that are old enough remember George Romney's brainwashing by vietnam comment
Probably the closest thing to the truth at that time, but was viserated over his comment.
Proposes a bit of a quadrium for mItts comment about calsi.

Politics by gaffe: recalling the 'brainwashing' of George Romney - MinnPost

This bit of American political history is slightly relevant because his son Mitt Romney is wobbling in his status as frontrunner for the Republican nomination. But the anecdote is also an example of the silliness of Gong Show Politics.

What makes you think anyone was "brainwashed" about Vietnam?
