I'm wondering how many that post on here were in the military?-----no, not the pencil pushers, nor the ones who drove the comanding officer etc. nor those in the rear?
What I knew then was squat, and probably know less now. When we sent reports of poping a bush we exagerated the numbers at a min. double. It made our squad look good as well as the company who doubled the number, then to batalian and numbers are doubled again.
I'm sure not a person we killed was any different than me. I was there for a cause, I had a family, and I did not want to get captured, amputated, or come home in a box.
Alot of folks got alot of our tax dollars over that war, and this one as well. If we wanted to get even with the 911 ordeal, we should have went to the right country.
We all get upset if one of our family dies, but we have no problem sending off someone elses boys to die. Why not send the presidents children and congress kin folk should be next.
How many thought we got a raw deal with a cop, DNR, IRS, laws taking guns away, or any other thing?----I say shut up, you were guilty of all charges otherwise you would not have been there in the first place. You don't get a trial, you should have been beaten and shot so it would not have cost the tax payer so much. Our government does not make mistakes, you do, and we all know it. Anybody getting the drift here?
The only way we can make new friends is to shake our fist in there face when we meet them, it will make them our friends for life.
Very radical, but we are all set on them all being the bad guys, and we sure would like to have them treat our guys the same way right?
So if they are not guilty and being beaten, what will they say, the truth, or something to make the beatings go away.
My county (Clayton county Iowa) has the highest rate of meth labs in the US acording to Jay Leno. (with the least prosecutions) Our county attorney lives five blocks from me, and I went to school with him. He is a jerk from day one, and when someone gets busted for drugs, they get less if they provide names and contacts. Those guys will go down the phone book and list names. No, I was never named to my best knowledge.
This war is costing us tax payers alot of money, but I often wonder if all that money was put in a box and handed to their government every week if we couldn't buy them as friends? It works for politicians!
For those who think beating them is ok, and we are very selective, you haven't a clue. Ever see kids get the crap beat out of them in school, college, sports, or in a bar? Boys will be boys, and on the battlefiels we are as ugly as anyone else. No tell --is not just for one topic in the military. As I get older and have kids and grand kids, I ashamed of the way we acted, and proved nothing other than to our buddies what bad A$$e$ we were. Every cook and clerk got their picture taken infront of a 50, or a gun jeep to send home. A gook ear would bring nothing less than $50.00 in the rear. Anyone a expert on knowing a opposing NVA, opposed to a civilians ear as well as gender? When they rot in a bag a few days in the hot jungle they look all the same even when salted down.
Don't suppose that there could be a few of our next generation on foreign soils now maybe with the same frame of mind?
I'm a guessing if anyone of us was locked up far a year or so, guilty or not we would want to get even, or at least I would.
I'm all for going after their leaders, and wish they would return the favor and not kill all the rest of us like 911. Those people were inocent.
Turning those guys loose is not the answer, but killing them or making slaves of them certianly is not either. We have made every single person in our prison a idol, and made their friends, and family hate us even more. I'm guessing we would do likewise.
As said before I always didn't think this way, in fact just the opposite. But I have watched family fights, bar room fights, and the Dems & Rep fights for fifty plus years, and never once do I remember a clear cut winner.
Old George perhaps should have finished a few things while we were at it. But it was in and out, and few of our lives were taken. Fighting these guys is like having to check every shadow in the woods---and every sahdow looks the same.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
