I know that there were 58,000 killed in Vietnam. I have been to the wall in DC! Yes, I know the history of the war!
Yes, I know that the war escalated under the Johnson Administration!
I am not a Proud Vietnam War Veteran!!! When I returned I burned everything that the military gave me. I almost went to Canada, but made the decision to go at the last minute. I have not talked about or told anyone what occurred over there for over 30 years!! I recently made the decision to look back. I tell people that I have come out of the closet!
I was violently opposed to this war. I was a radical liberal like yourself that opposed the war in principle, and was in the minority.
I know that the U.S. lost this "war". The difference is that I know that the military DID NOT!! This was not a War!! If it had been a war, the gloves would have been off. I will box you for $1,000,000. The only thing is that you have to tie your hands behind your back, and you absolutely cannot hit me anywhere that will hurt.
We could not go after the food chain, the ammo train, or the R&R places where they could go to rest! Think about it Rarebird. I know that you have that much smarts. Was that War a thing to do? Maybe not. Is this one? Well the alternative is to say that it was caused by their having a bad childhood, or maybe they need some mental health help and we should actually take care of them! Maybe that is your solution, but it is not mine. Will it be easy? NO!! But if we make the decision to release our troops, and do what we have to do, I hope that people like you do not get the presses attention, and try to stop us from hurting people. Maybe some day we can stop all war. But the time is not yet. I have already told you that this must be a different type of WAR, and that we need not intentionally carpet bomb them to hell. but there will be people on both sides that get killed. Sometimes it is important to think of the victim, and not just try to defend the killer or terrorist! |
