And a very high percentage of these liberals, like me, are decorated
Vietnam era vets who really know what it was like to be in the service,
a
concept lost to "leaders" like AWOL bush, "had-better-things-to-do"
Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and the rest of these chickenhawks who
think
nothing of sending our troops into battle to enrich themselves and
their
friends.
Where were you from 1962 to 1972? Defending your country or shooting
off
your mouth like you are today?
Capt. Jeff
With respect Sir: I was here during those years and I heard all the
rhetoric and saw what was being done. The horrible waste of men who died
while the generals were forced to fight a war micromanaged by President
Johnson. I remember when President Nixon was elected, he mined the
harbors
in N. Vietnam to keep arms from our allies (France, Germany, Russia and
England) from being delivered to Vietnam. This killed no one and saved
our
soldiers lives. WHY didn't Johnson do that???????
He didn't have the guts to stand up and defend our guys, they were cannon
fodder to him. He was more concerned with world opinion. A Kerry,
Clinton
or liberal viewpoint. There are Democrats, many of them who are NOT of
this
mind set but they would never get the nomination in the current Democrat
party.
It is not healthy for our country for one party to hold the reigns of
power
for too long. We, all of us need to do something to change the
leadership
of the Democrat party or this will become a one party country and we are
headed down the tubes. Belittling the Republicans won't do it, changing
the
democrat party to reflect the values of the red states (who are mainly
democrat anyway) is the way to go.
Well said.
Like Vietnam, we're bogged down in a war without reason.
We are in a war for the survival of the western culture. If you can't see
that then you are part of the problem. Islam is like communisim in its goal
which is that utopia will only be available when the whole world is Islamic
or communist.
Unfortunately, the present administration doesn't share Nixon's resolve
to properly protect our troops. Inferior vests, unarmored humvees and a
calloused approach has cost many of our citizens their lives or their
sound bodies. It's an u necessary risk that could have been solved with
a bit more money. Our men and women are again cannon fodder.
Congress, the House and the Senate, are the ones that control how much money
is appropriated. And, Bush hasn't vetoed a single spending bill. Call your
Representative or Senator and complain to them.
