Ques. Smacking. Back to All, esp. The Navy.
[QUOTE=Handicapper;2900052]You should have thanked the hippie protestors. If it wasn't for them exposing the lies that Nixon and your military commanders were feeding the American public your ass would still be in a foxhole in Nam. I certainly don't blame you, and thanks for serving our country, but the protests are what woke America up to the fact we weren't winning shit. The protestors brought an end to the war.[/QUOTE]We "weren't winning shit" as you say. Because the politicians tried to run a war they did not understand. If the military had been allowed to do it's job; if we had obliterated the dikes and dams in Haiphong; if we had been allowed to do a thousand more things that we could have done, it would have been a different outcome. LBJ or Nixon. No difference. Both were in over their heads. Nixon's reach for "Peace With Honor" has got to be the biggest F'and joke of the entire era. Jesu Cristo. It took two F'and years to agree on the size and shape of the negotiating table and 20.000 more USA Troops died. Kissinger and Le Duc Tho both were awarded Nobel Peace Prizes, at least Tho had the integrity to refuse his. He knew it was a F'and joke. Read "The Best and the Brightest" by Halberstram on the war, it's the definitive piece. To all who did serve. Thanks for your service. I see a Soldier or Sailor or Airman or Marine or Coastie at the airport. I walk up and say "Thank You", and they know why, it's in the eyes.
Hey Drew. You 'Ol Salty Dog, thanks for your service too, and Rocco says "Hey. ".
Final note to my compadre hervette
That woman you blasted in the forehead. Good for you!! Just returning home from a place where women were either trying to kill you or sleep with you then kill you I personally took a while to see the differance myself. Returning home I did a bit of shoving and punching my way thru also. What do they expect. ,they dropped a scared nieve young man from ft hood to washington state to a jungle that was miserable. I'm older now and time flies by fast. But I swear banging my teenage girlfriend one minute to given a hat and a gun and told hold on and shoot anything that moves. Man woman or child. Tough times and emotionally wrecked. So yes herbvette I woulda smacked her too. LOL. Tonto out!

[QUOTE=Ayenjael;2927278]Even more drama I received via PM. Coincidental that I got this pm around the same time that jaxrider had posted? Hmmmmm.
Maybe we should do an ip check for shits and giggles[/QUOTE]I welcome to you to back trace and check my IP. Like I stated and still state. I am not trying to start anything. I was voicing my opinion.
