And Cad, if Biden was running, you'd vote for him. You know it, I know it, we all know it. You don't know shit, which is your main problem. I did not vote for Biden in 2020 and would not vote for him now. You need to go back and read my comments about him before he resigned. You people just can't stand it when someone points out your messiah is a piece of shit. You know Trump is unfit for the job and you're embarrassed to support him and it hurts when someone points out what a true scumbag you are supporting. Since you can't defend the lying, cheating criminal scumbag, your only choice is to attack the person posting. At least BT tries to defend his candidate. You know you can't defend Trump. attacking others is all you got. |

What gardawg says is true.
Although, generally speaking, the entire country just wished we would go away. Never bring up we were there and don't discuss it. It was too embarrassing.
I appreciate your thoughts Ken but your paragraph regarding leftists gives away your true meaning.
Also back then we weren't so much left or right. We were war vs antiwar.

I am 75+ years old. I hope you are not referring to me. However I do wish that I was younger for some reason I thought you were only in your 40's we are the same age ... but my story is the same ... my friends that came back resented the way they were treated by the straight folk ... not the hippies. they weren't trying to get a job from the hippies ... I picked up two of my friends at the airport. While we were waiting for baggage pick up a group of college students approached us. They began to say things that should not have been said. The encounter culminated with the idiots spitting on us and calling them baby killers. It was like something straight out of a movie. My returning friends had to restrain me after I laid out one of the males that had been accosting them. That is a memory I wish I didn’t have. One of the two soldiers actually committed suicide. I hope and pray that the reception they received was not a cause of his death. WW2 Vets came home heroes Korean War Vets came home largely unnoticed Vietnam Vets came home to abuse and disdain We owe an un-repayable debt to the men who suffered through and from that conflict. |

Robert you probably experienced more than I ever witnessed but in my mind I equate the leftist policies of today with the likes of “Hanoi Janes” of the past.
I can’t support any leftist ideology or policies due to what I saw the anti-American movement do in the past.
And finally I never really thanked you for your service and sacrifice. I do that now. Thank you sir.

The Anti-American movement today is the territory of MAGA folk.
They are the ones flying the flag of an enemy of the United States ... the Confederate flag.

What is astonishing is Vietnam vets that still support government policies today that resulted in the way they were treated when they came home. Unjustified wars. Our collective memory is very short and we are so easily manipulated into supporting stupid foreign adventures.

I think IF meant well. JMO I also believe he meant well and thanked him for it. I've known IF for a long time. He has a heart of gold and would do anything for his friends. He's a good guy. Just slightly misguided.🧐 |
