Now, now Namvet, you know that first vid has to be a fake, right? I mean there wasn't any spitting then, and there's none now; Strollingbones says so! And see, that Marine vet didn't hit back-why, that's impossible! Any man who was spit on, would hit someone; why, he wasn't even in uniform! That would NEVER happen-Strollingbones says so! Any Vietnam vet who claims otherwise is a fake, Editec says so! Anyone whose experience coming home wasn't just fine, like his, is a fake-none of them were actually in Vietnam! Any vet who doesn't toe the liberal line on this or anything else is a fraud! Just ask the liberals in this thread-THEY KNOW IT ALL! It's all a myth; the PTSD, the name-calling, the hate,the accusations, all of it; we made it all up! None of us were ever hurt or abused; EVERYBODY LOVED US! So say the liberals! The nightmares, the flashbacks; none of that ever happened either; just our imagination!
Never mind the name-calling that's gone on right here on this board; Vietnam vets, me included, have been called "murderers" and "baby-killers" right here, but never mind those posts, we made them up-they never happened either. I'ver been asked directly, right here on this board, "How many unarmed Vietnamese did you kill?" "How many children did you kill?" "How many women did you rape?" Go look up the thread where Jose did that...but no, that never happened either; just my imagination, I'm sure!
You know, the more I go back through this thread, and read over this shit, the more disgusted I get. One lie after another, just like back then. Goddamn, some things never change, not at all. What's the matter? An op-ed piece gets quoted, "debunking" the whole mistreatment of Vietnam vets, and at the end of it, the writer worries about "people being intimidated against protesting current wars"; (no "agenda" there, I'm sure). Intimidated? Intimidated against spitting, throwing stuff, and cursing soldiers? Is THAT really what this is about? Is THAT what you're being deprived of because of something Vietnam vets supposedly "made up"? If that's what you want to be able to do, you're even worse trash than I thought! Everything is about politics with some of you, EVERYTHING, including the hate! You can't stand the thought that any Vietnam vet would disagree with you, so any who do, must be fakes! Even if someone suggests that the truth is somewhere between the extremes, you won't even acknowledge THAT-all or nothing, toe the party line or else!
Some of you need to take a long, hard look at yourselves. You won't, of course, but you damn well should! You know what; after some of what I've seen here, I don't give a rat's ass what some of you think! Everyone here knows EXACTLY which posters I'm talking to! I've tried to explain to some people here how a lot of us felt; what it was like over there, and what it was like coming home, and trying to readjust. It's pretty clear that doesn't matter to some of you. I don't care, whether you believe anything I say, or not! You're as rotten to the core, as anyone who ever called us names, kicked us to the curb, ignored us, or did all the other stuff YOU claim never happened! Therefore, you can kiss my Vietnam vet ass, and you can go to hell!
