By faking a bad back I ducked out on supporting the stealing and corruption that you helped inflict upon millions of innocent Vietnamese twice. I hate the rich parasites whose lifestyles don't even exist without war and debt and the inherent stealing and corruption they entail. Why do you support those who acquire obscene amounts of wealth through the mass murder/debt-enslavement of billions of innocent human beings?

The Big Chill
You saving some poor, put-upon Vietnamese by bailing out is one big, fat juicy rationalization, Princess.
Maybe.
But it is not a crime against humanity.
"
Kill Anything That Moves is a hard book to read.
"You want to look away but finally turn the pages and read of mass killings and targeted assassinations of Vietnamese civilians, rape committed casually and coldly in sight of officers, sport killings and road rage incidents.
"Turse painstakingly documents each incident, in many cases starting with the War Crimes Working Group reports and then adding his own first-person interviews conducted in Vietnam with eye witnesses. Mostly aged, the witnesses speak calmly now, and Turse reports what they say without embellishment.
"Still, the ghosts are there and you half expect to see drops of sweat on the pages."
You, however, prefer to rationalize and apologize for war crimes and those who committed them.
Who's the real Princess?
