In other words, you were a DRAFT DODGER Can you imagine how the 18 year old in Viet Nam felt having their legs blown off, while you were home playing coward, hiding in a college room?

Yes, we all understand. The Left's abandonment of, and hatred for America goes back to Viet Nam, and chiefly Cambodia. Those are the two subjects they somehow managed to misunderstand to an even greater extent than their total miscomprehension of economics. That will be why they never change, and why the necessity of defeating them takes priority over arguing with them. They are, to put it simply, off the reservation, never to return...

You hate Republicans because Nixon bombed Cambodia? You lefties are stuck in a time warp. Actually, what - who, rather - Nixon bombed was/were Viet Cong who were based in Cambodia and Laos. According to "the rules," we were supposed to let the Viet Cong cross the border at will, killing our soldiers, including your friends who at least came back. Foolishness. According to "the rules," a real soldier wears a red uniform and marches into battle in strict array. Wearing camouflage and hiding behind bushes is against "the rules." And if the enemy runs across a border, we have to let them go. Get real, Ray. This is real life, not a board game. The louder your opponent yells "no fair," the closer you are to what he's protecting. Just like these pimpled chad. You were co-opted by hard left Viet Cong sympathizers who did not want the US to win the war. The blood of a million Cambodians killed by Pol Pot and an untold number of south Viet Namese killed by Ho Chi Minh is on your hands. April 29, 1975, Saigon falls and the last Americans are evacuated. April 17, 1975, Pol Pot invades Phnom Penh. Coincidence? Think!
