Ah yes: the well-considered response that so clearly proves the point - that all those Vietnam Veterans were jerks and you were the only one that conducted himself with nobility and grace.
Not too obvious, right?
You are talking about a situation you weren’t an eye witness too. That makes you the aforementioned ‘moron’. Not all Viet Vets are jerks, I work for one, and he’s a great guy. He’s not fake either, he was there in ‘65.
The point is, I will treat pretty much anybody with the same respect shown me. Be nice until it’s time to not be nice. Let’s see how your brain works, I’ll give you another anecdote: I was in Florida last December for vacation. In a Publix grocery store, some woman decided to chide me for not wearing my mask over my nose. I promptly told her to piss off and call the police if it bothered her that much. Was my response wrong?
I am not someone that is ‘nice no matter what’, that’s the kind of cuckholdry that has gotten this country where it is. And that goes for Vietnam veterans too, you think you can just have a chip on your shoulder about your service and be a jerk and blame PTSD, that doesn’t mean I have to show you respect and be nice no matter what.
It’s the entire Vietnam generation that has led this country to the breaking point as it is. My grandfathers left us a great country to build, now the John Kerry’s and John McCains ruined everything.
