1) can you provide it again?
Nope. I don't do links unless I feel like it. It's usually wasted, because you guys either pretend you didn't see them or scream "Fake News"
2)SF didn't blackball him....his stats supported their decision...he was coming off 3 freaking surgeries.....nobody wanted him
Except- again, the NFL settled his suit over their blackballing him.
3) wow...inbred people listen to Garth Brooks, and country artist? I don't disagree that some of the backlash was too much....but they weren't fired by their label. I think it would have been drastically different had they simply said they don't support the war, but the additional attack on the President and doing it overseas made the comment worse. Moreover, there is no right or wrong on being supportive of the war effort or not.
No, they weren't fired by their label, but they were "cancelled" by their fans. This is the whole point of Cancel Culture.
And, yes, the war was wrong. We attacked a country over weapons that didn't exist. Then we failed to secure it and allowed it to fall into chaos.
4) there is no defending Fonda's actions....no, no serviceman would have set on a anti-air craft weapon targeting their fellow servicemen, and partied with the enemy. Fonda didn't get backlash for being against the war, she got backlash for that photo and that trip....rightly so.
I think a lot of servicemen were happy that people spoke up against the war... The fact that we ended the draft after that war because everyone knew how stupid it was says a lot.
