this is a quote from a "rambo" movie but yet true. "we just want our country to love us as much as we love it" i'm a Nam vet. god bless each and every person who ever wore a uniform for the greatest country in the world. to those who gave all, rest in peace. you're gone but believe me, you will never be forgotten.
There was a lot of discussion about the returning vets being spat on and disrespected. It did not happen, as much as we fought against the war, the soldiers were heroes and always will be. It is an urban legend. I was a draft counselor and worked with vets all the time and they were amazed at how hard people tried to makes feel welcome. The incidents were few and far between and the few were widely publicized.
Yes, we Viet vets were disrespected. Thank God the Desert Storm and all Iraqi and Afghanistan vets didn't have to undergo what we did. We didn't ask to go, but did what our country asked us to do. So much for the liberal anti-war demonstrators that caused us so much grief, but I for one, am proud of my service.
@yoko59lee I am an aussie from 9sqn who served two tours first 66/7 next 68/9 and can tell you now that it still with me near on 50 years later. What was done was done and the home coming was even worse than some of the days in country...
Thats the first time I've listen to this song 9th ID 67-69 the people at travis ab are the ones running this country today they got what they wanted soldiers who must have a daily ration of babby wipes which must cause PTSD it probley takes a dozen men this day & age to make a set of balls
This is the first time I have heard this song. I had a few hard times; but I chose to remember my Dad taking me to the V.F.W. to talk with people who knew how I felt, and the beer they bought me when they said welcome home;,, and thanks!
I hear you on that one, I just heard your song for the first time and it brought tears to my eyes, I remembered when I came home, I was spat on too, it took 20 LAPD to get me out from LAX because I wanted to hurt some people that spat on me and threw trash at me, what did I do?
Semper Fi To all My Brothers who served,,,,Some Gave All.......All Gave Some
it wasnt just the soliders being ridiculed for the war, when my auntie was 10 her father was in Vietnam and she was spat on at school by her so called friends because of it.
(A message to all those who disrespected the soldiers who came back from Vietnam)
You can hate war as much as you want... but you never, never, NEVER disrespect the soldiers. Who gave you the right to disrespect them in the first place? You were never there, so you have no idea what they went through.
@frankydman To be anti-war is to be anti-Semitic. To be Semitic is to support all out nuclear war. To be anti-all out nuclear war is to be a self-hating Jew.
The way our heros were treated when they returned from vietnam was horrible...There is a big difference between prostesting the war and disrespecting the veterans returnng home
today i was on a very busy schedule, they found a body form vietnam and a vietnamam soldier was being buried i had no clue who he was i standed there for a hour watching and respecting him for his service.
Very nice, though I've been unable to talk to anyone about it since my parents died in the early 90's, they were the last ones to really care. Thissong does help a lot, though I still feel like an asshole.
@skudaarkaat1 Please explaine. Are you a vietnam vet? If so why would you feel like that? If you are a veteran from any war you have my upmost respect and thanks.
@ripplemeinwater1 Yes, I served two tours from June of 1068 to November of 1970, was wounded 4 times and came home at the age of 20 to a nation that despised me. I had 3 people, 2 men and a woman, who said rude things to me at SEATAC airport less than an hour after I landed, so i took my uniform off and never put it on again untill the Veterans Memorial was dedicated12 years later. And because of US Democrats and some people, I still feel ashamed. Thank you for asking.
@skudaarkaat1 Don't Ever feel ashamed. Wear you uniform with pride, YOU have earned it with you blood. My Daddy was also in Vietnam and felt your pain. I am sorry you and all of your brothers were treated so badly. None of you deserve anything but the utmost respect for your sacrifice to your country. God Bless You Sir.
@teesakitten Thank you, angel. I hope your dad fared better than I did - He must have, having you for a daughter (I'm guessing from your @name). And thanks for your kind thoughts. The silly part is that if my country called me, I'd go again. And tell him "Welcome Home" from me!
@teesakitten Amen Kitten.. well said. both my dad's served and I'm thankful both survived.. I remember riots at the base gates and my mom daring these kids to get in her way...lol she would have made a grease spot out of any war protester that dared touch her family. But is was scary having to be taught to watch and if we see people jumping the fences to run in the house and hide behind a panelboard my mom loosened from under the stairs..
They went to vietnam for a reason for all the fuckin idiots that say they respect the vet's but not the war, the viet cong were ruthless people the vet's went there to help out the south there was atrosities but only the few had a hand in that, the very people that showed disrespect were the same age as the ones that died for there country.
@dictator54 Thank you. One image I'll never forget is a good friend of mine who we found nailed to a tree, upside down, with his private parts put in his mouth. No, the VC were not the playful imps that many have called them.
@toocoolpop1 You have a great family, toocoolpop. My girl had already gotten married and forgot to tell me, but I met a real honey 5 years later, who loved me, baggage and all, and we're still together.
A good song with a message...Vietnam veterans clearly didn't get the respect they deserved immediately after the Vietnam war...They got cursed out, spat on and otherwise humiliated for things that weren't the veterans' fault...C'mon people...The Vietnam veterans did what they were ORDERED TO DO and deserved much better when they returned home!
I'll never forget that place. When I got home in 68, a cop spit on my face. I never mentioned the war again, until 3 years ago. I found one guy from my squad. last time i saw him, he was a chopper going out. I followed a month later. Pain for 20 years. I sit in my room and listen to this song. Can't help it. I sob each time.
just in case no one has said it to you directly... Thank you .. and sending a warm hug to a wonderful man who stood for me before when could barely even walk. I wish you never suffered from the ignorance or cowardice of others who sat home making are armchair judgements on a war that divided not only country but even homes. Unless you where there and lived through it you have no right to judge our troops. They do a job many are to chicken shit to do. Thank you Sir ♥
@toocoolpop1 .... i was in the u.s army '69-'72. i know what you mean about sitting in the room, and not being able to help it. even at the age i am now.... i stll remember coming back from vietnam and landing back at travis afb. when looking for a cab ride back to sanity, i wanted to yell at the cabbie..."do you know where i just came from" and then, i woke up, then i really knew, he didn't care where i just came from. he was just trying to make a living. peace my brother.
@toocoolpop1 Dec 1971 came home to the crap, people I knew in HS and just left a few months before called me a Baby Killer, I tried to tell them I was a Corpsman and didn't carry a gun. Now it's different they say Thank You for serving. but it's still there all we did was our jobs and what we were told to do. I don't think I did anything else would have done. I came Home with 2 Purple Hearts and a Medal of Valor.
Neither did I bill, instead of thanks I got spit on, cussed and shamed, but I held my head high and still do, I followed orders and didn't expect anything for my service like the do now.
I did not get a welcome home like they do today,yes i'm bitter about that,i will sleep at night knowing i did what anyone woul'd do....luv me or hate me,i don't care.....
I wasn't asked what I did when I came home from the Republic That Once Was Vietnam; however, the question, "how many women and children did you kill". May be they found a home -- in Canada.
I'm not into politics, I served two tours as a Marine 0321 since the age of seven all I wanted to be was an American warrior. In school I pledged my alleglance to this Flag, What I did'nt agree with was the draft.The ones that did'nt want to be there almost got those that pledged our alleglance killed and turned our countries population agianst us. We have freedoms in this country so talk for ,agianst,about or whatever I fought for your right .
Very Sad, Very True...estimated: approximately 60,000 U.S. Servicemen died...60,000 young, healthy men died ... No Respect, No Honor ... This country treated them like garbage !! ...for that matter they STILL due...Our politicians can't make any more money off of the Vietnam Veterans, so its their policy to delay, and deny and neglect the remaining Vietnam Veterans..and wait for us to die off !!
@oreokookie1000 all war is fucked ; ; sad but true and idk if you know what the draft is, but alot of the boys were drafted in 66 like my brother...he was 18..he could have ran like alot did, but he didn't...he could have gone to jail...but he didn't... he went to vietnam...most of those boys that died there didn't have much of a choice...and in all war there are innocents lost...my brother lost his innocence there...he lived, but he was never the same...
God bless all of our war vets and those who are serving now. My father served in vetnam and was treated this way also .....it ought to be crimal along with the trash that would protest a war at a vets funeral.
@susandr82 I'm a former Marine and I served because I believed in what the U.S. stands for.And the number one thing the U.S. stands for is FREEDOM OF SPEECH !.If you don't like it may I suggest moving to Cuba or North Korea.The Viet Nam war was a joke that killed 58,000 Americans and million of vietnamese for no good fucking reason.EspeciallY since the U.S. is now trading partners with Viet Nam so you tell me what they died for ?
My great grandfather served as an Agent Orange Sprayer. He got cancer from it and later died. I respect the soldiers; not the war. The men fought for their country. The leaders, for politics.
@geekydude1940 you are exactly right Geek, Love the soldier, hate the war. Lets REALLY love our soldiers, and bring them all home into the arms of their loved ones.
@geekydude1940 i was in the rear.. a remf..otherwise known as a rear echelon motherfucker..i was in the field with the infantry in the delta.. where is our song? the guys who worked 16 hour days to give the grunts what they needed. we got mortared, sniped at, went on recovery missions, and suffered random mortar attacks with no recognition at all.. give us some respect, too!
@highvelocity2 The Viet Nam war was @1940 1975. The French held it as a virtual fief. The Japanese ran the French out & took up their old habits. After WWII when the French were bellyaching about the Germans they were trying to put Indo-China back into their yoke. At Dien Ben Phu La Legion Etranger got their butts kicked and left. So began an attemp to divide Vietnam. Ho wasn't having that. We left in 1975 but I left the mess in Aug 69. It was part of a war of attrition.
@geekydude1940 As a young British guy I, as most of young Americans, didn't really understand what Vietnam was about, but like your great grandfather, thousands believed in the war and, although the war was built upon lies, they fought and died for their country. They, not the politcians, were the heroes. God Bless everyone of them, and God Bless America.
I got home greeted with laughter and derision that I had chosen to volunteer for 4 years in the Crotch to go to Vietnam. High school former buddies, former best friends made a point to remind me what an idiot I was. My former employer, after I was discharged, said to me, "You don't want your old job back, do you?" Never saw an egg tosser or tomato tosser, but since then have seen a society who has no trouble electing draft dodgers to national leadership positions.
Dear Ladyrants There is nothing quite so foolish as someone who attempts to reprimand another for an error and then provides false information of their own. It would have been most difficult for Dear Shrub to have been flying an A-4 Skyhawk for the TANG as they never owned any! Dear Ladyrants It would have been most difficult for Dear Shrub to have been flying an A-4 Skyhawk for the TANG as they never owned any!
My dear British friend, we beat you twice, The American fighter is the best there is, and it seems no one moves until American Soldiers go in first. And I served in the US ARMY then, Not to say that your boys were not good, but It was us who did 99% of the fighting. THANKS FOR SONG!
War is based upon lies about patriotism, constitution, liberty & freedom. Generals gathered in their masses Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerers of death's construction In the fields the bodies burning As the war machine keeps turning Death and hatred to mankind Poisoning their brainwashed minds Oh lord yeah! Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor peace )
my brother came back from Nam with one leg blown off. I got drafted 6mo later & i told my brother im goin over ther to kill em all for what they did.. he pulled a gun on me & said well just end it now instead of goin there to a war with no cause & no reward..So my friends & i burned our draft cards as my brother passed away...Me & my grandad (a highly decorated ww2 naval officer) marched in a group opposed to Nam.. that was the proudest day of my life..god bless the guys who said no!!
Every war has casulties, but in Desert Storm, us British lost more lives because of so called friendly fire ( from the americans) than from the enemy...the american soldier lacks discipline. look at Vietnam, you lost because you sent boys to do a mans job and your generals, your not a fighting nation cos you have no history, us British have fought the Romans, the Vikings, the Germans, the Spanish and won, american soldiers...all the gear but sadly no idea, sorry but its true
@Eyyoh77 Last time I checked the Soviet Union had more to do with defeating the Nazi's then the U.S. By the time D-DAY took place the Soviets were crushing the Nazi's and inflicted about a million casualties,and Hitler had to send so many troops to the eastern front.Making it easier for allied troops to invade France.Nationalistic false pride is like a disease that brought down a lot of great empires.
@surferray69 what would russia have done with out all the planes guns artillary ammo food and other supplies we america sent them though thay had the best tank allaround king tiger was better but too expencive to produce
@lambastepirate Exactly,its called working together,To suggest that the U,S, won WW2 single handedly and we'd all be speaking German if not for the U,S, is a insult to the millions of others who fought and died fighting the same enemy,Hitlers insanity and arrogance not listening to his generals was another big factor.
@skudaarkaat1 ok you keep thinking the U,S, won ww2 single handedly,,lol
Another reason why the rest of the world thinks we're a bunch of arrogant morons with no sense of history,I guess in your eyes the U.S owned the million Russians who died at Stalingrad defeating the Nazi's.
@surferray69 That's what makes us BETTER than the russians; if you think Americans are such bad people, you're free to leave and go somewhere else. Try that in Russia. And no one but you said the US won the war singlehandedly, shithead. We were allied with The UK and manymother nations.The behavior of the russian soldiers in Germany as the war was ending showed what absolute animals they were, so yeah, fuck the assholes who died in Staligrad-less for us to kill.
@surferray69 It's too bad that fools like you didn't see the weapons that these people had before Charlie took them as he left. And say what you want, asshole, I don't fucking care!
I grew up watching vietnam on TV news. Everytime I would watch. I would think: All I'm going to do is grow up in this overcontrolling society...then go to war and die. The war ended when I was 14. Then missed registering for the draft by 8 days. Had a friend who stayed in the reserves...Flew new planes to Vietnam over the weekend. Tough time flying the old ones back.
When I got back from 'Nam, I got no disrespect. I suspect that most of the stories of vets getting spat on and such are urban legends developed and spread by those who think that all you have to do is put on a uniform and suddenly you become a hero, no matter what the cause. We were not heroes; we were victims trying to survive. Fuck all war, fuck all flags.
@Bozohotep, A Ranger I knew got off the plane in Oakland & protesters were waiting & he & the other vets with got egged, tomatoed, cussed at etc. I came home from Germany - I was lucky, all my Infantry training was for Nam & I lost highschool friends there - to Metro Airport in Detroit & was called a 'baby killer' etc., & people moved away from me in a airport snackbar where it took forever to get served, & it went on for years & still bugs me.
@Bozohotep You're right. War is why all powers die. The U.S. is the next one on the list. We are too over controlling. What ever happened to G.W. advice? "Isolate yourselves from .other nations, stay neutral"
I was young but not stupid. The 'public' discusted me...I was in a lot of fist fights (navy brat) with guys...girls wouldn't step up, back then in civvie schools. I don't regret one suspension nor one expulsion...they were disrespecting or trying to ...soldiers because they were cowards.
Unfortunately most of the soldiers who were killed in Viet Nam were conscripts. Americans, French, Viet Cong, Viet Namese. (and most of them were very young) It was as big a fiasco, and as big a waste of youth as has always happened in history because of old men with visions of power and crippled souls. I have always hoped that God sorted them out.
I am a Vietnam Veteran. I was an avionics technician working on automatic flight control systems. Of all the Vietnam Veterans who I have met and talked with only about 2% admitted to having supporting rolls in Vietnam. The most popular ratio for support and combat troops is 10 to 1 that is for every man in combat there were ten troops supporting. So I should be meeting more guys who like me had supporting jobs but I'm not. Has honesty taken a holiday or am I not meeting the right folks?
Some interesting statistics...there are about two million Vietnam Veterans (people who actually served in country including support troops). In 1975 at the end of the war you couldn't get all of those to admit that they were Veterans, yet at this time there is an estimated thirteen million people out there who claim to be Vietnam Veterans! My how times change!
When I turned 18 in 1968 the number for the draft was 1A. I had many prospective employers tell me to come back when your 1A draft status changed. So what does an eighteen year old do if he cannot afford college and can't find work? Run to Canada, let yourself be drafted or join the military. Now to top off this sh*t sandwich, when he comes home he is treated like a criminal! It is amazing that we still have fine young people willing to serve and protect our nation thus our freedom, thank you
to wilcarr1 Your hero Clinton went to Soviet Russia to learn how to sell this nation out during the Vietnam conflict. ! His transfer of hi tech technology to Communist China during his 8 year reign over the USA has allowed them to become the major threat to world peace. My grand kids will have to fight these people because of his policies.The worst thing is that his harridan of a wife is still doing damage to our republic.
I respect and admire all Vietnam Vets. Don't dare judge a soldier until you walked his path. I was too young to go, but every Vet I meet I shake his hand and thank them for their service. If I am in a bar they drink free all night. God Bless all Veterans from Wars. Especially Vietnam. That was the most f***ed up war of all time.
because of the way the Viet Nam vets were treated when they came home I think we've learned that we can condem a war but still honor the warrior....A heartfelt thank you to all who served, to the VFW's, no words were ever created to honor you and what you went through,,,Love to you from a thankful American....
@Godzie1 Vietnam was not a war? Where have you been? If it wasn't a war -- why are there over 58,000 names on the Wall? Trading life for real estate results in loss of life. That is war.
@ernstbecker1 No it was not declared a war like WW1 WW2..Many felt we never should have been there after all they were no threat to us? Let their Government & people handle it?
The Good Vietnam vets walk proud. They don't cry, they were men. Please don't listen to people like Misunderstood..I enlisted to go to Nam to kill commies It was the sixties people. I would do it again..Its ok to kill a baby in WW2 but not in Vietnam..yeah right !!!! makes alot of sense- this is not my comp...
Misunderstood. I am a disabled Vietnam Veteran,that was forced to go to Nam. I was only 17,I was rebellious,and a flower child at the time.Protesting the actions of the establishment. They Arrested me,and said I was a traitor,and they would make a example of me. But what really hurt,is when I got back stateside.I was labeled a baby killer. Everyone looked at me,like I was nothing but,a worthless piece of shit. And I still have to live,with it to this day.
@THOMASRLOGGINS Just wondering how you would have treated the returning vets if you hadn't been placed in the military. Brother, I'm a vet too and I don't mean this in any disrespectful way. Just wondering. It was one fecked up time for us all. Peace with honor, yeah, sure.
i feel just the way he described. by the way i was in vietnam, 2d platoon f company. i have had boxes thrown at me an the market, and spit on by low-lifes.i risked my life to protect everybody, and they arent even thankfull
My girlfriend's dad flew med evac choppers for the navy, he doesnt talk about it much if at all but you you can see the memories etched into him and you dont wanna know.
should have learned something from Korea and maybe wouldnt have lost soo many lives. And n young soilder ever lost anything for their country in a war they lost everythin coz rich n powerful people got pissed of at each other!!!(b4 u say anything i come from a military family n i knw what it feels like losing family for your "country"
fuck all you little pricks below, and fuck the bastards who shoveled your heads. you little nieve bastards have gotta alot to learn about this world. enjoy the sodomy cock suckers.
I think alot of people forget about the Vietnamese men and boys who faught against one of the best and well trained army's in the world and held their own.. We had the brawn and they had the brain. I am American and proud of it. I just think credit is due where credit is due I won't say something ghey like godbless them because god (invisable man in the sky) had nothing to do with any of it, Or anything else for that matter.. bible>>> myth ,fiction, cult anyway. RESPECT to all VETs
too the vets god bless you i was young then but i remember it too the brave souls of the women and men god bless you ...... if you dont like the u.s.a. get the fuck out .........ALL GAVE SOME AND SOME GAVE ALL... PEACE
@cherokee3864 exactly that's how I fee im 15 and I love America so if any body dislikes America then I tell them to get the hell out of America and see how cold and unforgiving the world is out there. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just thank god i was able to get into canada my mom sent me to live with her grandparents when i was 17 i just thank god for my mom and not having to get killed in some nameless place i have the utmost respect for those who went and the famlies who lost loved ones
i just thank god i was able to get into canada my mom sent me to live with her grandparents when i was 17 i just thank god for my mom and not having to get killed in some nameless place i have the utmost respect for those who went and the famiys who lost loved ones
i just thank god i was able to get into canada my mom sent me to live with her grandparents when i was 17 i just thank god for my mom and not having to get killed in some nameless place
Vietnam was just a senior trip for most of us poor boys who could not afford college or slick like Ex-president William Clinton and go to England on a Rhodes scholarship. Slick Willie Clinton used the ruse he was going to enter the University of Arkansas ROTC program to buy time to avoid the draft and the rest of us obeyed the law and went not because we believe in the war but there was no choice for us. Vietnam vet infantry 101st Abn 68/69.
@wilcarr1 SHUT THE FUCK UP. Dick Cheney had 6 deferrments, Rush Limbaugh's dad pulled strings, Bill O Reilly didn't go, Michael Savage didn't go, and the rest of the pussy-ass conservatives didn't go. I'm a liberal and I served my country to.
@publicatdamagnificen you're right, Dick, Rush, Bill and Michael didn't serve. Neither did another Bill, Billy Boy Clinton, he not only didn't serve,he protested against those who did! That puts him in a special class of Do-Do! If you're a liberal I'm sure you voted for him! And, since you say you served, then that puts you in a special class of Do-Do with him! You owe wilcarr1 an apology, sir!
@337noname ....Clinton was against those who served! He said he " loathed the military", that's hating those who serve! When you protest against your military when it is engaged in a war, it is unforgivable! I don't know what you're talking about with the " Moral Majority", but all americans, liberal, conservative, independent turned their collective backs on Vietnam Vets!
@337noname .... I doubt you know anyone who thinks, period! You sure as hell don't! You just repeat the same worn out garbage you heard someone else say! Study up, think! If you have an inner voice, one that's really yours, decide for yourself what is real, true and right! You'll be surprised where it will lead you!
@337noname ...See, you realize that I gave you good advice! That's a start, there may be hope for you, yet! Now, go see if you can find your "inner voice", make sure it's yours, not someone else's, then, when you're sure it's yours, listen. A whole new world will open for you, hopefully!
@337noname ....You don't " see " much of anything, that's your problem! You talk of nonsense? Read some of your previous remarks, you'll see nonsense! For example, " the myth of the spit-on soldier is so Rambo", Rambo is a myth, not the spit-on soldier! Liberal reporters have said for some time that there is no documented reports of it. That's probably true, but, since 2.5 million men served there, it's kinda hard to have a camera and microphone with one each of them to "document" it!
@publicatdamagnificen Really? Sad excuse or a human being. I see why the nation is going to hell, people just like you, don't give a damn about anything but themselves and what can make it easy for them, regardless of who has to suffer for it. You are a selfish, childish cocksuckers.
@MrSloanerboner GW Bush and Dick Cheney got a lot of our troops killed for nothing. Because of them not learning the lessons of Vietnam, a new generation of Americans have died in vain. In ten years they will be making Ramboish movies of the spit upon Iraq vet and as vets beg for spare change on the street corners of America. God bless the USA. God damn GW Bush.
@337noname You have a very stilted version of history, you won't listen to fact or reason. Friday morning i was feeding homeless Veterans, we fed homeless who weren't veterans too, but we did this to honor of those who gave to so you have the right to speak gibberish and blame people who try to protect you andgive you a sheltered life/ With your logic Kennedy and Johnson killed 50000 for nothing. I won't say any more to the mentally challenged.
this is a quote from a "rambo" movie but yet true. "we just want our country to love us as much as we love it" i'm a Nam vet. god bless each and every person who ever wore a uniform for the greatest country in the world. to those who gave all, rest in peace. you're gone but believe me, you will never be forgotten.

Yes, we Viet vets were disrespected. Thank God the Desert Storm and all Iraqi and Afghanistan vets didn't have to undergo what we did. We didn't ask to go, but did what our country asked us to do. So much for the liberal anti-war demonstrators that caused us so much grief, but I for one, am proud of my service.

You can hate war as much as you want... but you never, never, NEVER disrespect the soldiers. Who gave you the right to disrespect them in the first place? You were never there, so you have no idea what they went through.

@ripplemeinwater1 Yes, I served two tours from June of 1068 to November of 1970, was wounded 4 times and came home at the age of 20 to a nation that despised me. I had 3 people, 2 men and a woman, who said rude things to me at SEATAC airport less than an hour after I landed, so i took my uniform off and never put it on again untill the Veterans Memorial was dedicated12 years later. And because of US Democrats and some people, I still feel ashamed. Thank you for asking.

So began an attemp to divide Vietnam. Ho wasn't having that. We left in 1975 but I left the mess in Aug 69. It was part of a war of attrition.

Unfortunately most of the soldiers who were killed in Viet Nam were conscripts. Americans, French, Viet Cong, Viet Namese.

I am a Vietnam Veteran. I was an avionics technician working on automatic flight control systems. Of all the Vietnam Veterans who I have met and talked with only about 2% admitted to having supporting rolls in Vietnam. The most popular ratio for support and combat troops is 10 to 1 that is for every man in combat there were ten troops supporting. So I should be meeting more guys who like me had supporting jobs but I'm not. Has honesty taken a holiday or am I not meeting the right folks?

When I turned 18 in 1968 the number for the draft was 1A. I had many prospective employers tell me to come back when your 1A draft status changed.

And Bush wasted a $million in air training and then went awol. Many wealthy kids got out of the war just like they do now.

Vietnam was just a senior trip for most of us poor boys who could not afford college or slick like Ex-president William Clinton and go to England on a Rhodes scholarship. Slick Willie Clinton used the ruse he was going to enter the University of Arkansas ROTC program to buy time to avoid the draft and the rest of us obeyed the law and went not because we believe in the war but there was no choice for us. Vietnam vet infantry 101st Abn 68/69.

@wilcarr1 SHUT THE FUCK UP. Dick Cheney had 6 deferrments, Rush Limbaugh's dad pulled strings, Bill O Reilly didn't go, Michael Savage didn't go, and the rest of the pussy-ass conservatives didn't go. I'm a liberal and I served my country to.
Fuck your service- WE DON'T GIVE A DAMN!!

@publicatdamagnificen you're right, Dick, Rush, Bill and Michael didn't serve. Neither did another Bill, Billy Boy Clinton, he not only didn't serve,he protested against those who did! That puts him in a special class of Do-Do! If you're a liberal I'm sure you voted for him! And, since you say you served, then that puts you in a special class of Do-Do with him! You owe wilcarr1 an apology, sir!

Clinton was against the war not against those who served. "Bring the Boys Home" doesn't dishonor anyone and it is as true today as it was then.
Why not ask the so called "morol majority" why THEY mistreated, ignored, or looked upon Vietnam vets with disdain?
Personally as liberal, I never had any issues with any vet I knew in 1970s or now. That includes my father, my brother, and my son.

@337noname ....Clinton was against those who served! He said he " loathed the military", that's hating those who serve! When you protest against your military when it is engaged in a war, it is unforgivable! I don't know what you're talking about with the " Moral Majority", but all americans, liberal, conservative, independent turned their collective backs on Vietnam Vets!

@337noname .... I doubt you know anyone who thinks, period! You sure as hell don't! You just repeat the same worn out garbage you heard someone else say! Study up, think! If you have an inner voice, one that's really yours, decide for yourself what is real, true and right! You'll be surprised where it will lead you!

@337noname ...See, you realize that I gave you good advice! That's a start, there may be hope for you, yet! Now, go see if you can find your "inner voice", make sure it's yours, not someone else's, then, when you're sure it's yours, listen. A whole new world will open for you, hopefully!

337noname 2 months ago
@337noname ....You don't " see " much of anything, that's your problem! You talk of nonsense? Read some of your previous remarks, you'll see nonsense! For example, " the myth of the spit-on soldier is so Rambo", Rambo is a myth, not the spit-on soldier! Liberal reporters have said for some time that there is no documented reports of it. That's probably true, but, since 2.5 million men served there, it's kinda hard to have a camera and microphone with one each of them to "document" it!

@publicatdamagnificen Really? Sad excuse or a human being. I see why the nation is going to hell, people just like you, don't give a damn about anything but themselves and what can make it easy for them, regardless of who has to suffer for it. You are a selfish, childish cocksuckers.

@MrSloanerboner GW Bush and Dick Cheney got a lot of our troops killed for nothing. Because of them not learning the lessons of Vietnam, a new generation of Americans have died in vain. In ten years they will be making Ramboish movies of the spit upon Iraq vet and as vets beg for spare change on the street corners of America. God bless the USA. God damn GW Bush.

@337noname You have a very stilted version of history, you won't listen to fact or reason. Friday morning i was feeding homeless Veterans, we fed homeless who weren't veterans too, but we did this to honor of those who gave to so you have the right to speak gibberish and blame people who try to protect you andgive you a sheltered life/ With your logic Kennedy and Johnson killed 50000 for nothing. I won't say any more to the mentally challenged.
