You're on. I'm a clear-thinking individual and I will NOT agree to your proposal here. How many is "many"? Ok there was My Lai. Rattle off a few others. And demonstrate your meaning of "many". A hundred? A thousand? Ten thousand? Granted one is too many. But how many is "many" ? Hundreds of different accounts exist regarding the atrocities committed by US soldiers in VN. Including over 100 "fragging" investigations conducted by the Pentagon. There's a reason why most VN villagers supported the VC over US troops. But, let me be clear: the vast majority of US troops were just kids thrown into an unwinnable situation. They were not evil. Their leaders let them down. The war was a horrible mistake and resulted in the largest embarrassment that our military ever faced. Amen and amen, professor. Agreed. No doubt about it. Will we ever know what precipitated it? Oh yeah .. they told us we were there to stop communism. Right. It didn't do a lot to stop communism, but a lot of large corporations made a lot of pesos off the war, didn't they? I even heard .. that the Johnson family owned a transport company that was shipping the war supplies. Yep, Lyndon "I'll go to war myself before I send someone else's son to war" Johnson. Those Johnsons. Well, gee, when have I ever defended LBJ? Kennedy, LBJ and Nixon were all deluded and misled by defense advisors. Kissinger and McNamara were serious offenders. And we thought only republicans were involved in big business and war mongering. Nope. Never said that. Proving that GREED is a bi-partisan quality. Yes? Agreed. Now explain how our agreement disproves that both Republicans and Democrats made bad decisions in VN. And you always drift. Even if LBJ and the Demos shared responsibility for VN, how does that refute anything Kerry had to say about VN. Kerry spoke the truth. I respect that in someone who I intend to vote for. WOW! The truth means something to you? The guy who lied about having a PhD? The guy who called me on the phone telling me how he'd been fired from Louisville Technical Institute? ( a proven lie by the way). You're your own little circus, aren't you? dxAce |
