Psychoblues said:You're pretty screwed up about Viet Nam, aren't you? There were those of us that believed in America and went whether we really wanted to or not. There were others that avoided Viet Nam service through college deferments, Peace Corps service, etc. There were others that simply left the country to forego involuntary conscription and become participants in a war that they understood to be ethically and morally wrong. There were others that seemed to believe they could "save face" and enlist in units that could not possibly be tasked for duty in Viet Nam. Where in all this do you place GWB? I prefer the intelligence and bravery of our ex-patriot Canadians to the likes of GWB. At least those ex-patriots put their very citizenship on the line. GWB never put anything on the line.
You gotta quit reading those Republican Romance novels, my friend.
Sad, really. Your rabid hatred for Pres. Bush has reduced you to the status of a quibbling apologist for those cowards who refused to stay in this country and protest the Viet Nam war but instead ran off to Canada to hide. I respect those who felt the war was wrong, stayed in this country and took their lumps. But I have nothing but contempt for those expatriate cowards who lacked the courage to fight or to protest and later came skulking back under the auspices of that craven chicken shit Carter.
No, Insein isn't screwed up about the Viet Nam war. Matter of fact he's on target. You're the one who has let blind, irrational hatred skew your thinking to the point that your views are indistinguishable from those of that contemptible swine running for president under the Democratic banner.
Your ludicrous assertion that some enlisted in "in units that could not possibly be tasked for duty in Viet Nam" would be laughable if it weren't so insulting. Which unit can you cite that fits the criteria you stated? Let me answer that for you - there is no such unit and you damn well know it.
What puzzles me most about your attitudes is the fact that you would willingly support a sleaze like kerry. An individual who abused his military service for political purposes, then returned home and abused his comrades with lies and cheap propoganda. A charlatan who helped to prolong the war by giving moral support to our enemy and who was thereby responsible for more American deaths. A hypocrite who today seeks to exploit the Viet Nam veteran once again by appropriating the honorable and distinguished service of RVN vets and claiming it as his own.
As far as "reading those Republican Romance novels" - perhaps you need to get your nose out of those kerry propoganda booklets long enough to let some oxygen get to your brain. You might be surprised how just a few minutes of rational thought and objectivity can change one's viewpoints.
