Calling all boomers

[Deadstick]

That one is, and here we are again. War is the US governments way of teaching geography. We invaded Panama in 1989 to shut Noriega up who was Bush's money laundering buddy, and now look at us in Ukraine. We didn't learn a damned thing then either. By he way, we are looking at taking back the Canal Zone again. Players gotta play.

They never learn, one would have thought after Vietnam they would have, but no they have had one war after another, but i blame many of the population not just the criminal politicians if the public go along with the wars all the time they must be stupid.

I remember her being outspokenly anti-war spoke against all U.S. troops over there and did a photo-op with North Korean troops. In later years she said that she regretted what she did, even though she still felt it was wrong for us to get into the war.
I have mixed feelings about the conflict. Our government lied to get us into the war and as it dragged on, it cost over 58,000 lives. That said, the South Vietnamese government was democratically elected, and the U.S. was on a mission to stop what they perceived as a Communist Domino Effect, so they joined a multi-nation force against the Communists.
What a lot of people don't realize is that by the time we left, the Viet Cong guerillas had been completely destroyed and we were beating back the NVA, but massive public pressure forced us out, rather than us outright losing. The mistake was allowing unfettered media video access to combat units which showed the dead and dying U.S. troops in the public's living rooms. They learned their lesson for future conflicts though. They limited news media access to combat situations.

The so called Domino effect was just a political slogan to get the people on board and South Vietnam was a artificial Country that was only supposed to be temporary after the Geneva conference until elections were held to unify the Country that was ignored by the South Regime and the US, so Ho had no choice but to liberate the Country by force and that is what happened.

You know that war is a great business next to compound interest, the most powerful force in the universe.

Them yellow chinks forced the French out. A big blow to colonialism.

 

[Moonglow]

Them yellow chinks forced the French out. A big blow to colonialism.

They wanted it more.

 

[Zincwarrior]

And the mongols. And the Chinese. And the Americans. They were working on the Japanese when the war ended.

 

[Deadstick]

They wanted it more.

Because it was their Country.

Russia needs to get out of eastern Europe and eastern Asia.

Cn they be allowed to stay in Russia?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Russians should self-deport to Antartica.

At the time she called out her Country's mass bombing of civilians how is that being a traitor? the real traitors were the fascist war mongers in Washington who not only devastated a Country they got thousands of their own young men killed for profit.

Chickenhawks' Daddies Crow Like Roosters

"Their own young men"? The real crime was that young gutless flag-waving "men" could use their Daddy's power to get out of fighting.

The purpose of the Vietnam War was to kill off or take the fight out of the bravest sons of the White working class. The "civilian" South Vietnamese were cowards, crooks, and collaborators. The policy of winning their worthless "hearts and minds" was intentionally designed so we would lose.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Because it was their Country.

The Boat People Were Chickenhawks, Deserving No Sympathy

Then why wouldn't they fight for it? And why did the North Vietnamese not recognize it and invaded it?

 

[Arlette]

Jane Fonda traumatized a lot of baby killers.

Better idea is you go back to where you came from.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

All soldiers are potentially that. You, otoh, are a nothing whose reply means nothing.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

I am already where I came from.,

I have been to Russia. It's a beautiful place wasted on those who live there permanently.

 

[whitehall]

It was a wrong war that needlessly killed almost 60,000 and divided the country.

We should have learned

LBJ created the fake crisis and set the rules so that we could win every battle and lose the freaking war. The media managed to blame the whole thing on Nixon while Hollywood presented Fonda with an Academy Award for a grade B picture.

 

[The Duke]

What convinced you that a tiny nation on the other side of the globe where they got shit done with water buffalos was an existential threat to America?

Jane Fonda is a traitor.

 

[Arlette]

Jane Fonda is a traitor.

The traitors were the politicians who got us into Vietnam in the first place. The domino effect, hysteria about communism. Well the commies won and the sun still came up the next morning. Ain't we still in Iraq over lies about mushrooms clouds? What happens the next time some asshole wants to go to war and nobody shows up?
