Great point, JT. And you're right - it's beyond alot of people here.
That war is closing in on 40 years old. Fourty years.
A horrific and sad outcome, sure. And the wounds are still so close to the surface.
There have been dozens and dozens of great books written on the subject. Really great books. Covering both the situation on the ground, and the politics back in Washington.
If you were born in a cocoon, and raised by wolves, and your only outlet to the world was the AH BBS, it's quite understandable that you'd come to believe that the fiasco that was the Vietnam war was the result of some actress called Jane Fonda.
Really.
Vietnam? Jane Fonda this. Jane Fonda that. She's a biatch.
And Mike Moore is fat.
And Kerry is a coward.
And Universities are terrorist breeding grounds.
And the media are in on the conspiracy.
And freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose....
The lunatics have taken over the asylum, and they're winning.
