Aye... does to me too.

It's curious.... (and disturbing :) ) .... but it's there.

ah. yes. the ineveitable 'vietnam war' refrence..

vietnam ran 12 years.. with no invasion EVER of the country we were 'at war' with. that 'war' was prosecuted by stunninghunks, target lists provendered by accountants and laywers.  

make yah a deal. if we ain't got iraq under a new regime in 6 months, i'll be in the ranks of war protestors. we'll walk shoulder to shoulder to washington, and stop the madness.

ok?

to rape badger.. 'give war a chance'.

now, shut up and soldier; america.

Hang,

You darn well know the source of the target list, it was a particular democrat. I hope he is reminded of all the lives he cost in his own little piece of hell. :mad:

Uh Hang, he's already dead. I'd be arrested for pissing on his grave too. The wife keeps me away from that area even though we have family in Texas. ;)

You know, these have been my exact same feelings in the last few days. As I've watched the news and see it all unfold in technicolour, I've felt like I'm staring over the edge of a precipice. I know that sounds melodramatic and hysterical - but that's been my gut reaction.

I was talking to my dad today about the war. I said to him that I had a bad feeling about it, and he just smiled and said it would all work out in the end. I tried to explain what I meant, but couldn't really put it into words.

As I looked at the pictures of American servicemen and women on TV last weekend, the way they pushed a mic into the face of that wounded guy, all I could say was '****ing Savages'.

When I saw the pictures of the two dead British Army sappers, I couldn't put the anger I felt into words. There was nothing but fury.



I watched the footage of those American POWS and I was almost happy that they weren't Australian soldiers. Glad that there weren't any dead diggers being propped up on a bench and filmed.
Last night the news showed an armoured column crossing a captured bridge, and the camera panned down to the dead Iraqi soldiers strewn along the side of the bridge they died defending and I felt almost nothing.


I have been 100% against the war that my country has been fighting, and I still am.
But I am proud of our diggers professionalism, and conduct and want them to all come home safe. I don't think is any conflict in that thinking at all.

Uh, hate to mention this but the democrat I was refering to was lbj. He was the CinC during the build up and was the one who thought he could make the NV's "see the light" by using creative bombing strategies. I am not excusing mcnamara at all here but he was not the CinC, lbj was.

My view of Robert STRANGE is that he's the one that totally f    d up the war. LBJ was simply a politician; he let STRANGE do his thinking for him. After all, STRANGE was a "whiz kid".

I'd feel a bit softer towards him if he ever admitted he was way wrong and he killed a lot of American boys... but he never has and never will.

But heck, I'll bring the beer to LBJ's gravesite too! When ya wanna go?

America was threatened by Iraq in no way, it was just plain ridiculous, it's an "Angriffskrieg"


2 Million people was killed in Vietnam, 3 million injured. What for?
