Howard, when you deal with Jlallen, you're dealing with the guy I refer to as "attorney action hero." Like the "flight suit hero," I suspect he's a wannabe. He allowed a lot of people to believe that in his military past he saw some combat, maybe even suffered wounds, and then retired with a medical discharge. When some poster wrote a while back that she believed he'd suffered shrapnel wounds, attorney action hero pointed out that those that have been there and done that don't talk about it much. It turns out that he recently posted that he's been an attorney for 18 years. I guess the attorneys in the military were out leading the charge in the first Gulf war, but somehow I doubt it. Maybe the military asked a guy with a disability medical discharge from the service to go back in and serve in a combat role? Go figure. When challenged about the "we should have won that war" silliness about Vietnam in the past, he's had nothing but platitudes to offer. He doesn't seem to understand that the travesty wasn't in ending the war; it was in first starting it, and second, in not ending it a lot sooner. Tens of thousands of dead young American men and hundreds of thousands of wounded young American men, along with millions of dead men, women and children of Vietnam attest to the travesty that was the Vietnam war. I guess it all stems from his inability to understand that people of all cultures are destined to find their own paths and will strongly resist the efforts of those that attempt to force them to accept foreign rule and foreign values. I suppose this is especially true when the foreign coercion is in the form of invasion, occupation and the use of deadly force. Like missionaries of the past, the concept he seems to adhere to is that it's for their own good, they're too ignorant to take the "right" steps on their own, and once they realize how right we are, they will thank us. It must be right to be so sure of your own rightness that you can feel pious about making critical decisions for others that have different religions and values.

What other bigoted opinions does Howard C embrace. You say the Vietnamese are little funny looking men. Clearly your bigotry excludes the idea that all men are created equal. Off course that only holds of one believes in a God who created the equality. But dignity is the real equality created. Your comments reveal a mind that has lost it's dignity.
