Chief Cow Chip: “I was in ‘Nam, fought in the jungles against the Cong, hand to hand combat, was captured and tortured, didn’t give up a thing. That didn’t scare me...

“But these kids... I was skeered...”

He “felt” like it was hatred. One of the biggest issues now is people base things on feelings instead of reality. We have a lot of feelings that turn out to be meaningless in the real world.

In my opinion that man was trying to goad the teens into doing something to make them, and all conservatives look bad. Where is the outrage about those that were cussing at the teens and being disrespectful to them?

I’ll mention your thank you to him next time I see him. He passed in ‘89.

You are correct. I see that a lot. As one that was actually there and was around some nasty situations, I personally do not care to see folks wearing caps stating such.

On the other hand anyone that served honorably no matter where assigned deserves respect, but not as a Vietnam Vet.

These kids may well have a valid suit for slander against this guy. They are not public figures and this guy purposefully defamed them.

“We live in a post-truth world.”

I would not be at all surprised to find out that those very same words were spoken in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. I think the difference is before Germany and Russia got to the level of dishonesty that we are seeing today, that both were successful in first disarming their citizens and punished free speech.

A famous Japanese Admiral is supposedly quoted as saying that the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor Awakened A Sleeping Giant. The perpetual poking at us by the left may have a similar effect. Sooner or later all hell will break out and they will have wished they had disarmed us.

I would not be at all surprised to find out that those very same words were spoken in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia.

There was talk about "the Big Lie" in interwar Germany, the lie so big that it was pointless to deny it. Hitler used the phrase against his opponents, but his government was based on the Big Lie.

It's been said that the Russian language had two words for truth. One was the big truth, the larger or spiritual or ideal truth that could be manipulated by governments and propagandists. The other was the smaller, everyday factual truths that can't be denied by honest, clear-sighted people. But it's also been said that this isn't true about Russian at all.

CNN and the rest of the DNC Media have a Fact Checking issue.

Facts don’t matter unless it is someone they disagree with.

I didn’t mean to insult anyone; my apologies if you took it that way.

I was suggesting that the Indian was misrepresenting his own service with some wiggle-room. Like some others here, I personally doubt he saw duty in Viet Nam but was trying to share the mantle of those who did.

“We live in a post-truth world.”

Prager had a good article about this recently:

The left, the wall, and the truth:

https://townhall.com/columnists/are/2019/01/15/the-left-the-wall-the-truth-n2539045

From the article:

“If leftists believe any of the above, let alone all of it, they are deluded people. And the existence of tens of millions of deluded people in a society can only portend catastrophe. If leftists do not believe those claims, they are not deluded; they lie for effect and, therefore, engage in evil. The existence of tens of millions of people consciously committed to lying means society has little hope.”

What real vet claims he is a Viet Nam era vet?

Those who didn’t serve in country wanting to capitalize on the new found appreciation of all Veterans since 9/11!

REMF’s of the first order.

I don’t like marginalizing any Veteran’s service. But suggesting that somehow someone who was in the military during that period of time should receive some type of special acknowledgement, in my minds eye, does so by diminishing the service of those “in country”, especially the Combat Veteran!
