Naaahhhh, Nobody was in 'Nam 'til Nixon put 'em there.
(Did you miss that re-educations class???)
RMN: that's my guy! I loved him, still do. Got a funny story to tell. When I was a wee laddess(?) I went to a friend's Halloween party dressed as a hippie, the whole works (at age 5 I wanted a fringed and beaded suede pocketbook!). I was no hippie; just liked the cool styles of crazily embroidered and patched jeans and the fringed bags.
Anyway, my best embroidered and patched jeans -- absolutely covered almost everywhere in cool patches and my Mom's excellent and colorful embroidery -- developed a small tear in the seat of the pants! I had a Nixon bumper sticker (I was born a Republican Conservative) handy and I placed it across the entire backside of my jeans to cover the tear.
At the Halloween party, I won an award for best costume. The reason? My friend's Mom and Dad were liberals -- in retrospect I know this. I didn't then, was too young.
See, the Mom and Dad served as the costume judges and they thought I was trying to get across the message that Nixon was an asp! As I accepted the award, I was protesting, "No, that's not what I mean." I like Nixon. They were laughing and not hearing me.
I didn't truly understand their remarks -- they did not use the word asp in front of us kids -- but I had a feel and a sense for what they meant and I didn't like it!
There, I was traumatized by evil liberals turning the truth upside down to fit their evil purposes at a very early age! Who can I sue?
