I did not call you anything hoss....put yer big boy britches on

I’m 53, I was there (unlike you) and I’m telling you that in Mississippi we in Leave to Beaver land never learned to hate the military nor viewed them as neer do wells

but I will cede one point ...the Viet vets never got the adulation and hero worship subsequent or WWII vets did and some of those boys were in the shit day in day out like few outsides Marines island hopping in the Pacific woulda been

that was a tragedy..that and the media’s loathsome behavior

Vietnam fellas and ROK theatre guys got the short stick

I was there for what I’m talking about...note that I’m not talking about the jungle gramps. I’m talking about back here in the “real world”, as they called it, when the fellers that were bums before the war were bums after the war. There were lots of those types. And lots of them joined the military back in the day. They did so cuz it was a guarantee back then. Not so anymore. And that is a fact.
