What's your point?
If they helped bring that war to an early close shouldn't
they be honoured?
Honoring cowardly acts is not the American way. I'm surprised
that Canada feels differently.
Do you think they were all cowards?
Pretty much.

Oh yeah....
re "Honoring cowardly acts is not the American way."
Do I dare point out that your current president hid from service?
What branch of your military did you serve in?


Bert, Bert, Bert...get off your high horse. You never served in a
shooting war.
Never said I was in any action. However, I was available to be a
bullet catcher when the phone rang and I needed to be at the
assembly point within hours.

What branch of the military did you serve in, Harry?
Excellent question

Why does it matter? New rules? Nobody can talk about this if they
haven't served?

I thought it was a fair question since Harry was belittling Bert's
service. Talk all you want Doug. It's a free country. Justify the
actions of draft dodgers if you want. Your freedom has been secured by
the millions who have helped to defend this country and make it free.


I'm not really belittling Bert's service, such as it was. I'm belittling
Bert. Bert tries to make a big deal that he "served" while others did
not, and therefore his right-wing commentary has some relevance. . But
serving stateside, as Bert did, is not the same as serving at the front
in an active war zone. That's for starters. More important, of course,
is that Bert is an uneducated, unsophisticated, right-wing horse's butt,
and therefore his opinions have about as much value as a pile of horse
manure.

What's the matter Harry, did I touch a nerve, again?

Say whatever you want it really doesn't bother me.

I just try to point out your hypocrisies every chance I get.

I have to wonder, Doug, why you didn't ask Harry the same question when he
posed his question to Bert.
John H


Because Bertie asks the question for a different reason than Harry does.

Really, why don't you educate all of us and provide the reasons for
Harry and I asking the question.

If we were faced with something like WWII, I'd the lined up waiting for my
short haircut, just like you. But, you know as well as I do that some
military actions are done solely for political, personal, or pathological
reasons. The Spanish-American war, the Vietnam war, and the current Viagra
substitute in Iraq are all in this category. If some people believe it's
noble to serve even when the reasons are pathetic, they are free to do so.
But, not me.

Do you choose to obey only the laws that you support?

Doug is the epitome of the "me" generation.

Actually, I didn't break the law. I didn't get called up. However, I
would've gone to prison before I would've served.

Well, that's to your credit; I guess.
Yeah. I stand behind my convictions, unlike the empty head in the White
House at the moment. Now, what about the question you pretended not to
see? In what year did you figure out that the Vietnam war was a sham?

No comment.


Coward.

Correct. Get over here and scrape the debris out of the rain gutters where
my lawn meets the street. If you're willing to get your brains blown out for
a political theory you're incapable of understanding, you should be fine
with this assignment.

It is easy to tell, he dives head first into the personal atttacks,
soon to be followed by hemmroidal appendage don, with a follow up post.

Don!

Don, you haven't posted right after Harry yet. Is everything ok, are you
sick?
