Bump Phil!
I hear you, Smooth. This same stuff happens time and again with them. You’d think they’d realize that anyone with any knowledge of the military would see through them immediately but different ones keep trying to pull the same things.
Harkin has to be a real retard to think saying something as lame as that wouldn’t draw flak, even if the enemedia covers for them whenever they can. They’re disgusting.
My friend’s parents left as the NVA tanks were entering Sai Gon. They were able to get on a boat and start the first phase of their journey to the US. One of his uncles is a wounded ARVN vet who, to this say, curses and swears when you mention Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh, or Vo Nguyen Giap.
I have also listened to people tell their own personal accounts of being in re-education camps. In fact, I conversed with a man who wasn’t lucky enough to escape in 1975. He saved some gold to pay his way onto a rickety boat. The boat was intercepted and he was sent to a re-education camp. When he left the camp, he tried again to get onto a boat. He finally made his way to the Philippines and eventually gain entry to the US. He was proud to be in the US and to be an American, but he was also said to see South Viet Nam fall and to not know what became of many friends and family.
Harkin can smooch monkey bollocks.
btrl
If I recall, Harkin was exposed as a liar for claiming to be a Vietnam veteran.
Shouldn’t that sick scumbag be in jail?
The mod gods have banned further teddy posts. Beware.
