I'm as interested as he is to hear the answer(s), but I won't hold my breath.


what exactly was the interesting question that Nash asked?

Come on...

I got me a mad heroin addictin at 34. Ya think I don't know about mistakes at 34?

Some of you guy's lives might consist of a blissful adherence to some golden path, or whatever... but hell... 34 is nothing.

On the other hand Nash, perhaps I'm wrong about her age...she couldn't POSSIBLY get that stupid in just 34 years.

Sandman, this is the guy you think had an interesting question regarding the Vietnam war?

Hmmm... a celebrity raised by celebrities. I'd bet she had quite a different perception of reality than we common folk. :)

He's not questioning Vietnam. He's questioning your perspective.

You are old and will only get older. You better find some reason for life, other that trying to be "hip"

"hip" aint gonna happen forever, Nash, and you already have slipped way beyond "hip"

Just saying.

How does he know what my perspective is? And you said that he had some interesting questions. I have not seen one interesting question.

Try not to be so literal. Let's talk about spit. ;)

I have no regrets worth mentioning for my service. I can't fathom what my life would have been like without the crucible of service. Having lived it, it seems commonplace to me.. but to someone who didn't walk my path, the scenery has no substance.

So be it. I'll miss no sleep over your concept her relevance; I'm comfortable with my reasons for my position with regards to her guilt.. and they, after all; are the only ones that matter.

The price of Freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness...

...at home, or abroad.

Being 34 years old is not "nothing" Nash.

Being 14 is nothing.  Being 24 is considered young-adulthood.

34 is the start of middle-age.  Too old to blame one's foibles on the idiocies of youth.

Fonda had no excuse then...and forty additional years hasn't added anything substantial to her wisdom or character.

From this vantage point, 34 is still young and subject to youthful mistakes. :)

Mr. Big blames Vietnam on Commies.

Shuckins blames Vietnam on Hippies.

I hope.... I sincerely hope.... that one day we - we in general - will emerge from this, and apply a greater degree of sophistication to what happened then and what's happening now. Not vilifying what went wrong, and not ignoring what went right.

"Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men who ever have been, and ever shall be, animated by the same passions, and thus they necessarily have the same results."
