xrp is sending out private replies.
I got mine.
He's drunk in Kansas again.
The poor fellow has no more money for porn so he's hanging out at FR until he can sell some more X and pay to pound his pud.
From what I gather from his private reply, he's a real peter pumper.
The poor fellow is broke and depressed.
He never has had a real job; nothing to show for his short sorry life other than huffing away nightly in his circle jerk society meeting.
It's all our fault.

Corrected headline:
''Vietnam Remains the Only War That America the Anti-American Traitorous Left-Wing Self-Indulgent Baby-Boomer Draft-Dodgers Can't Quit Fighting''
Rather too long for a proper headline, of course, but -- since they can't be bothered with fact, I suppose grammar and style have no place in their ''lives'' either.

xrp is sending out private replies.I got mine, but there's no way I'm gonna open it.....until now, I never knew a FRail could look sticky.

Not to worry sez I.
I took the precaution of putting on my latex exam gloves before opening mine.
You just can't be too careful when dealing with "Gin-Xers"!

How ironic. The "soldier" Kerry, who denounced his participation in Viet Nam is now PROUD? of his military service.
But I forget - he was against the war in SE Asia before he was for it.

Jane Fonda may be 67 years old but she's still a traitor and a stupid bitch.

RE:
we were too worried about Watergate Who was "worried" about it? The Nixon haters were getting their rocks off. "Holiday." That's the word I've been trying to think of all these years. It was a holiday -- an extended holiday -- for millions. Some evening TV "news"casts were nothing but Watergate. It was like they were celebrating and reporting how we had just won the World Cup. Those people and some who I worked with were ecstatic.
RE: We haven't succeeded in doing that about Vietnam.
Vietnam was not about Vietnam. It was about the Soviet Union ("wars of liberation"). According to Kennedy friend James "Scotty" Reston it was about Kennedy needing to prove that he was not a wimp after Khrushchev humiliated him in Vienna in 1961. It was about preventing a worse confrontation. The way Washington handled it of course made it a worse confrontation. That is a lesson. That is a reason we "fight" the war over, dummy.
Confronting our enemies sparked violence against the U.S. by our "enemies within."
We are not "fighting the war" over and over, dummy. We are talking about our "enemies within."
We are trying to say look at what happened HERE in the U.S. Look how politics as usual (spying BY BOTH PARTIES on each other and covering it up) was used to destroy a wartime administration of the Party figthing our enemies. Look how it continues, dummy.
I personally post often about one battle in Vietnam, the Tet Offensive. Not to talk about the battle over there but to remind people about what happened HERE, dummy.
It's not surprising that the Civil War and the Vietnam will not "fade away," they are connected. There were two major efforts (at least) to start Civil War II (or revolutions) in those days. One was civil rights radicals and the other pro-communist.
"I don't need no lessons from history, I'm living now." Sure, dummy.

I believe that we won every "battle" that we fought in Viet
Nam, but because we were afraid of what Russia might do, we
lost the war.
To: quidnunc
Don't forget the Civil War - where the North kicked butt & b*tch slapped a whole lot of rebels.
To: quidnunc
In your case, I thought 1812 was the war that won't end!

The Civil War would seem to qualify as well. You mean "The War of Northern Agression", aka "The Late Unpleasantness"?

It won't go away until paunchy, grey haired leftists either die or cease pining for their 'salad days'.

Not to worry, I have no problem with the facts.
Okay - just for fun, no offense intended. how many times have you had the Banana Boat Song sung to you; 'come Mr Talleyman, tally me banana'?
To: talleyman
I refrained from dignifying that w/a reply....but you did it for me! LOL
