Poignant statement

[Eyeheart Pumpkin]

The deluded war supporters won't see it, I'm sure, but this is one of the most telling quotes I've seen so far:


In Nashville, Tenn., Peter Fossel, a 57-year-old former Marine, wore a Purple Heart he won in the Vietnam War as he joined about 300 anti-war protesters outside a federal building.

"This America is not the America that I bled for,'' Fossel said. "This America is the aggressor, and this America is the type of nation that I risked my life to fight against.''

Obviously the poor man did too many drugs during the 60's if he thinks Vietnam was honorable.

Let's not get all bent yet. Despite all the dire predictions of thousands of casualties, there isn't likely going to be much blood spilled in this action.

Well in retrospect, how much blood is "much?"

depends on if you love the dead.:frown:

I am a war supporter and I did get it. Like Woman said the guy is smoking something fierce to make Vietnam honorable and this war dishonorable.

[Pilgrim]

Or eother of them really honerable. After all the regime in Viet Nam was pretty nasty as well so the same justification that is being used now of "liberation" is just as true.

Actually, the "domino theory" was the most pressing reason given for Vietnam.
