Oh, SIR, I am not a phony from DU. I have been here at FR much longer than you. But, I don't know you from Adam's apple, actually. My brother was in Nam in '69. He doesn't talk any of his tour of duty. In fact, I think most vets do not, unless the subject comes up of their particular experiences relating to the conversation.
And my brother voted for President Bush because he thought him to be the best for our country...now because he is a vet of Nam thirty five years ago.
Just because John Kerry could not let go of his precieved Nam glories in the campaign does not mean that we have to endure it all over again. He lost. Let it go.
Okay, I can't pretend to know what the ehck is going on, I don't know what's going on.
I know both of you, so I'll just ask here that this get dropped cold here in this thread.
