--- "To this day, they are digging up unexploded ordinance and disposing of it. A lot of it 500 pound bombs and a lot of it cluster munitions. Some 40 thousand estimated have either died or have been maimed as a result of that."

It seems so easy to kick consequences into the future and then hope that future won't visit you.

When Robert McNamara made his book tour and all after Vietnam and expected to get applauded an after-the-fact change of heart, he was soundly rejected by many. And rightly so. But, people forget, unless they carry a scar with them.

I do appreciate your comments regrarding Ukraine.

Isn’t it interesting that Allegra is so forgetful that I had asked her not to direct her comments to me. But, little does it matter. She says nothing on topic only comments to smear other. Hard to name call when she is ignored... except of course what she comments to me! LOL Otherwise, I just skim.

I had shared:
“Try to remember the Free Republic Standards of Mr. Robinson posted He requested your compliance. This is dis-similar from obedience, in that the the request for change is often in a position of authority. Compliance does not rely upon power.

What Is Compliance?
In psychology, compliance refers to changing one’s behavior at the request or direction of another person.

When you counter his standards your lack of self-censoring shows complete disrespect for Mr. Robinson.”

She insisted upon adding the whole comment by Mr. Robinson which is fine with me as I do NOT comment with: abusive posts, name-calling, taunting, trolling, stalking, flame-baiting, insults, religious insults, flames, threats, ill-wishes, harassing & annoying posts, unwanted posts & FReepmail, etc, etc, etc

We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a “Putinista”, “comrade”, “murderer”, “baby-killer”, etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.”

There is no point in naming or directing derogatory comments toward these disruptive individuals. Everyone knows them & their behavior. Some have even gone to other threads to insult me. However, all know the truth

Some of the people who were left to get ready to leave that place watched as they took off and left THOUSANDS of those Hmong people behind. Most of those people left to the west and Thailand and it is estimated over two thirds of them died on the way. The ones who stayed were slaughtered. To the man woman and child.

I will NEVER forget how it left ALL of us, who had been there, disgusted with our country.
