I spent a year there...does that qualify me to be an elected official? Not in the least. I do, however, think it gives me the right to be angry when I'm up to my a$$ in illegal Mexicans.
Ouch that's gonna leave a mark on Bushbot prnd21.
"Ouch that's gonna leave a mark..."
Please don't misunderstand. I like G.W. and voted for him twice. I just think he's dead wrong on immigration.
As for my Vietnam comment, in 1992 when the slick one was running, no one wanted to talk about "Nam. Despite the cowardly, lying S.O.B. scamming the system and ratting out his country, he got voted in twice. It only came up again in 2000 because Algore had been in country for ten or fifteen minutes, and then again in '04 because we had us a genuine "hero" in Kerry. Most of us who went over had more time sitting in the latrine than Kerry had total.
Today you've got fathers who weren't born yet when the last man got out, with kids who'll be old enough to serve before much more time passes. We've fought a couple more wars and a handful of skirmishes since then. Vietnam just isn't relevant anymore.
