I had half a case of Sam, 3/4 case of Bud and the Pabst was gone. Go figure. :) I am drinking PBR these days. I have trouble finding regular Coors in a bottle, my other choice. I used to always drink Bud but I just lost the taste for it and I don't like the heavy beers. I drink Busch if I can't find PBR or Coors. I drink lots of water, and have been doing so for 22 years. Water's not bad, but it's not a hot conversation topic. It doesn't get much of a head, and is usually pretty clear. You must have had some of that crap they had from the Phillipines in SEA. San Miguel I think it was called? Had to strain it before you drank it to get the crunchy bits out? :) Well, yes. Actually I'd drink about anything that had an alcohol content. Luckily, I had an Engineer company with dump trucks and a First Sergeant who was a wheeler-dealer, and a Post Exchange at Cu Chi that was always needing laterite for its swampy parking lot. So we always had free beer and enough steaks for a Friday cookout. Times were good. For you maybe...while the real soldiers were out crawling through the jungle getting shot at. How does that make you feel Donny. Your friends and neighbors went to war for you and some didn't come back. Went to war for me?? I don't recall asking anyone to do such a thing. Tell that to the survivors and widows of those at Sword Beach. Asshole! Implicity in the statement that someone "went to war" for someone else is that the war in question prevented something horrific from happening to those in the home land or its territories. The Vietnam war led to the death of 50,000 Americans, 1,000,000 Asians, and serious injuries to tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. There was nothing going on there that required that sort of sacrifice on either side. We took over from the French, who were nothing more than exploitative colonialists. The French went back into Vietnam after being chased out during WW II by the Japanese. The Vietnamese thought they were going to become independent after WW II. What did we do in Vietnam? We propped up a right-wing dictatorship for a while, a government so corrupt Buddhist monks set themselves on fire in protest. Our military establishment was gleeful about Vietnam. It allowed for officer promotions, it allowed for a buildup in men and materiel, and it kept a bunch of lying assholes in the officer ranks in uniform. -- Birther-Deather-Tenther-Teabagger: Idiots All |
