the navy seals learned the guerilla tactics of the viet cong and use them but that doesn’t mean they are the viet cong.

But the irony! Life is always varied, and it just tickled me to see that image.

I literally cannot look at a peace sign without having an Encyclopedia Brittanica of images, slogans, stereotypes and emotions pass through my brain in a flash of a second.

I cannot stand that effing thing. It stands for EVERYTHING I am against. (And no...for you liberals out there reading this, I’m not against peace...I am just against assuming everyone wants it until I get a fist or a bullet in the face...)

I just finished reading “Rules for Radicals”, and it was one of the most immoral books I have ever read.

I cannot see myself buying into the total concept, although there are some concepts included that are commonsense.

But, reading the book is invaluable to understanding your enemy. After reading the book, I understand much better the things that are unfolding at their direction, and you can never, EVER underestimate your enemy.

In the words of a famous fighter pilot, I think they are imbeciles, but I plan to treat them and their tactics as if they were from the Red Baron himself.

>> I cannot stand that effing thing.

LOL - it’s definitely a miserable symbol for the radical hatred associated with it. I see that symbol and I recall images of self-loathing losers spitting upon troops returning from Vietnam. I see that symbol and I’m reminded of the Killing Fields. I see that symbol and I’m reminded of the ignorance that has infected the organism of corporate marketing.
