John Pilger - Heroes (1 of 5)

Throughout the 1960s and '70s, returning combat soldiers from Vietnam were subject to a public backlash of indifference, accusation and even hatred. Treated with disdain by their own government, and in 1981 (more than five years after the final evacuation of Saigon), veterans were still fighting for the right to proper healthcare, education and employment.

While it is regrettable that government couldn't afford to give these men proper healthcare, let's not forget: the disdain and bad treatment they received was mostly by hippie leftie scum-sucking shits like Pilger.

@TheGoldenKing20 One of the more bizarre comments I have received on youtube.

[SCHRUBBE1966]

The truth is never popular.

I believe that most of these soldiers knew nothing about why they were fighting in this war, they just thought it was the patriotic thing to do.

Why do a lot of Americans think that in order to serve your country, u must go to war & kill the enemy, yet they dont even know why they were the enemy.

@TheGoldenKing20 Your stupidity is only eclipsed by your ignorance.

@TheGoldenKing20 I must add something to Mark's comment. While you sit in your subterranean pool of brainwashed filth on your throne of refuse, the only thing you appear to commit yourself to is trolling across all manner of videos from prominent documents to classic video games. There is not a shred of value to your actions, and I should argue there is none left for your existence either. Kindly sort yourself out, there are more deserving people on this planet who deserve the luxury you live in

@pim1234 Better a socialist than an imperialist!

[boogyshoes20]

Like a poor, starving soldier on the front line in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War said after hearing that rich 'gentlemen' that owned more than 22 slaves no longer had to fight in the war: "Rich man's war, poor man's fight!"

[blackiron60]

Imperialism always uses, abuses, and then throws away its footsoldiers.

[pim1234]

pilger is a socialist with strange ideas about the army and how it should work ...
