"My oldest son was born in 1974."
"While I was visiting last week, he started saying the swiftboat vets were wrong, but he had changed his tune by the end of the week.
"He himself is a former Marine, and strong Republican, but had probably been listening to Oreily types.
"I realized then how these younger people just can't see what we are seeing."
The fellow, my friend and I were talking to is a conservative and served in the Guard and went to Desert Storm I. Like your son, I think that he listened to O Reilly too much. He was stunned by how strong my friend and I turned on him after he dissed the Swift Vets, and his wife had tears in her eyes when we finished. They both admitted that they were not aware what really happened. They are in their mid to late 40's.
