The Vietnam war was the longest in our nation's history.
1st American advisor was killed on June 08, 1956,
and the last casualties in connection with the war occurred on May 15, 1975, during the Mayaquez incident. Approximately 2.7 million Americans served in the war zone; 300,000 were wounded and approximately 75,000 permanently disabled. Officially there are still 1,991 Americans unaccounted for from SE Asia.
Vietnam was a savage, in your face war where death could and did strike from anywhere with absolutely no warning. The brave young men and women who fought that war paid an awful price of blood, pain and suffering. As it is said: "ALL GAVE SOME ... SOME GAVE ALL"
The Vietnam war was not lost on the battlefield. No American force in ANY other conflict fought with more determination or sheer courage than the Vietnam Veteran. For the first time in our history America sent it's young men and women into a war run by inept politicians who had no grasp of military strategies and no moral will to win. They were led by "top brass" who were concerned mainly with furthering their own careers, most neither understood the nature of the war nor had a clue about the impossible mission with which they'd tasked their soldiers. And the war was reported by a self serving Media who penned stories filled with inaccuracies, deliberate omissions, biased presentations and blatant distorted interpretations because they were more interested in a story than the truth! It can be debated that we should never have fought that war. It can also be argued that the young Americans who fought so courageously, never losing a single major battle, helped in a huge way to WIN THE COLD WAR.
BTTT!!!!!!

I looked around on the web ( to post so anyone could protest having this slime in their city) and couldn't find the *itch's tour schedule. Wonder why a commy loving, sleazy *unt like here doesn't make it available? Hanoi Jane, hope you rot in hell, for the hell you've caused on earth.
And insoding, ideally set an *excellent* precedent for the years to follow.
Nixon's failure to respond appropriately resulted in emboldening America's Liberal-Socialist-Communist left to heights that've brought 'em all the way to 2005.
I guess to be fair -- & in hindsight -- had Nixon given the traitorous SOBs their just desserts and the rest of history remained as it happened? (ie Watergate & his subsequent resignation)
A newly elected POTUS-flake from GA would've pardoned the miscreants, and the quisling media quickly coronate Nixon the "new" Joe McCarthy for his troubles.
Yup, as sure as God made little green apples it'd have gone down just like that.
Sad, but true.
As it is the old bag shows up again 30 years later like a bad penny, face lifted so many times it's about to *pop* just so she can shill a book few want to read.
Then -- although we dopes aren't supposed to be able to figure this out -- the parasite sets out "touring the country" in a bus powered by vegetable oil, allegedly, to "protest Iraq"!!
I think we can agree it's pretty clear the *express* purpose of this *tour's* to attempy breathing life into her tanked book sales.
Y'know Brian, her fate?
...it's meeting a fittin' end. ;^)
Thanks for the ping!
