If you did not like the movie Good Morning Vietnam or Cronaur that's ok with me.

And if you know more about history and the Vietnam war than me, well that's good also. Glad to here there are other people who like history. Seems like it is a vanishing breed these days given our current dumb government school systems and communist universities which are a discrace to the country. I served 4 years in the Navy and was in Vietnam 1967. Happy Veterans Day.

@gootenslog So what you seem to be saying is that you are a-ok with our government whitewashing numbers of dead Americans in order to escalate a losing conflict.

You must think I'm the product of some lame lib university...but I assure you I am not. As far as the history goes, I lived throught that crazy-ass time and saw it everyday on a regular diet of nightmares on the daily news.

And I despise John Kerry.

Cronaur as depicted by Robin Williams is a complete douche. Certainly he is probably not completely like Williams character, but the silly self-righteousness as displayed in the movie is idiotic.

You know history? Yea right. Taught by whom? Marxist college professors? Or are you a Vietnam Vet like John Fkin Kerry?

@FW190BK

Bite me.

I know more about history and the Viet Nam War than you will ever be able to shit out of your stupid mouth.

Stick in in your ear! Maybe you know (maybe not) that there are other jobs that have to be done in wartime. Maybe 20% front line and 80% support. U VC? If not you don't know a rifle from your gun. I can tell that you know shit about this war or any other. You seem to be "the fucking waste".

Great voice.

[gootenslog]

Radio disc jockeys in VientNam....a fucking waste. Give his lazy ass a rifle and tell them to do a real man's job out in the field and not stay in an air-cconditioned radio rooma and spout his lazy-ass panty--waste shit.
