Gary, Romanov

You never related your thoughts on what your fallen comrades in Viet Nam might say about your rabid allegiance to a kremlin that was the agent of death for 57000 in southeast asia.

For you two with over 45 years of allegiance to the US armed forces, one would think your writings might betray at least a hint of ambivalence.

And isn'tit ironic that God is punishing Russia with bitter cold after it unleashed same upon their neighbors when it shut gas valve.

Firstly, I cannot speak for Romanov.

Secondly, they would say its great to hear they are now on our side fighting the GWOT.

Finally, it may or may not be God is punishing Russia, or it simply may be God is using this cold wave to prove to the rest of Europe that the gas shortage is genuine.

I don't know why I am even bothering to reply to you, but nonetheless.... You, spanalot, are unable to win arguments based on fact and merit so you resort to personal attacks. What I will not allow to go unanswered is inferences on my loyalty to my country of birth - the United States of America. A country I have served faithfully and loyally. I will not allow a xenophobic hate-mongerer, such as yourself, cast aspersions on me and other loyal veterans (Gary, JB6). While you have the right to freely express yourself, you have no right to call into question our loyalty in light of the fact you have done NOTHING to serve this country. ZERO. ZIP. NADA. The only thing you offer is rants of a person filled with hate and loathing. You are no different than those on the unhinged left.

Secondly, regarding Vietnam - you are a fool. Let me give you a little background. 1.) I am the son of a disabled Vietnam veteran. My first memories of my father are of him in traction at Valley Forge Veterans Hospital. He was shot down while flying in a loach and has been paralyzed since he was 24 and I was 4. And, as I CAN speak for him vis-a-vis my thoughts on Russia - he has no problem with what I think. 2.) If you knew my actual name, you could ask the Vietnam Veterans of America and the Veterans of Foreign Wars (an organization I'm a member of - are you? Doubt it) what they think. I have spent the better part of six years away from home, away from family, interviewing over 500 former Soviet military officers and government officials who fought in the Vietnam War for the DRV. These interviews are conducted as part of an effort to provide the fullest possible accounting of our missing servicemen. 3.)The Russians I deal with would have a good laugh at your description of me as having "rabid allegiance to a kremlin."

So, spanalot, you can take your pseudo-conservatism elsewhere. Your posts on FR show you to be not a true conservative, but a person filled with hate - a person whose judgment of others is based on what you perceive to be their race, background, religious belief, or to whom they are married. Might I suggest you resign from FR and join "Stormfront" (if you haven't already). People with you twisted worldview are more than welcome on such fascist sites.
