When my unit was pulled out of Viet Nam in 1971 the people in the village where I lived cried. They hugged us and said they were going to die when the North came. The North came and they did. We can't do that again!

Hey, chesty. It's been a coon's age ...

Do you ever hear from Bigun or JENX anymore?

Amen, chesty. Good to see you again.

I get sick reading this thread - not at those who wish to re-evaluate strategy (which IMO, needs to be done), but those who at this point in time emulate the Vietnam-era pragmatists and say this war is not worth the cost of winning. This war has been nowhere NEAR the cost of Vietnam, but winning it is even more vital than winning Vietnam.

They are willing to let the MSM spin this war the way the MSM spun Tet and the years afterwards as saying we are defeated, without bothering to ask the soldiers who is winning. From the comfort of their chairs they rip into Kristinn, who actually went over there to see for himself instead of just being spoonfed by CNN.

These ossified "conservatives" form an unholy alliance with the far left to where their positions become indistinguishable with the greatest America haters of our time - the type of pond scum that Kristinn, Doc Raoul and myself got to witness at a moonbat antiwar and impeachment rally in Philly - where they had no American flags and refused an offer from us to have one of ours.

A sane conservative will reconsider his positions when they align with such moonbats. Which tells you plenty about the sanity of the hard-core naysayers on this thread that they seek to further emulate the likes of Cindy Sheehan and Medea Benjamin.
