    I don't know if we should make it a punishable offense, but pointing it out to people when they're freaking out over it, might help.

    As in, don't take posters X Y Z too seriously...but then that opens the door for people to just say that about someone who they don't agree with, etc. It's a hard line to walk. For example, I can't tell people to ignore Slypokerdog, because he's not an actual dog...

    Yeah, I know I won't convince him but in case some others were not around back then - advantage of being old, I do remember past events.

    You let someone else get dirty hands so you didn't have to.
    My father gave me the choice of going to Vietnam or Canada. I chose Vietnam. Why? Not because I believed in that war although I agreed we had to stop those fuckers I just thought we were going about it all wrong. So, I told my father "if I don't go then someone else has to go". So, I went and that's why I'm disabled today with my tiny 5' 1'', 120 lb. wife pushing me in a wheelchair everywhere I go. See, you saved yourself a life long possible miserable existence in a wheelchair and left that to someone else.

    Yeah, but I can't imagine the Taliban agreeing to the kind of terms that I think they should agree to in order to have peace talks. I've even heard they aren't to be trusted.

    You'd think they'd be meeting with president Ashraf Ghani in Afghanistan before Camp David eh? It's as if General Lee and General Grant meeting for peace talks in Europe to stop the American Civil War....whoops!

    I hope he's safe...thank him for his service. I think this is Afghanistan's sovereign issue in the long run and don't see bringing tribal leaders to the US solving much.

    Wow, your son works in the Taliban embassy? What's his job title, Deputy Assistant Terrorist?

    I didn't even know the Taliban had an embassy.

    I had heard on MSNBC the Taliban had an embassy? Well, its an office according to other sites that they established to begin negotiations to end the war.
    Im nervous as I think The Qatari's are not true friends but have opened up the door and rolled out the red carpet for American Gi"s. They are also a haven for other radical Muslim bad guys.

    Someone paid me $50 to nuke you. I'm just doing it very very slowly.

    It's identical twins close.

    The PLO was the ISIS of the day back then.

    Arafat and Bin Laden could be clones.

    Not at all what I thought you were confessing to.

    You said "we dropped a lot of bombs on Cambodia that never made the news."

    Typo? Or confession of a heinous crime against humanity?

    Don't jump all over me for taking your posts literally.

    People who go to war are pro-war.
    People who finance war are pro-war.

    I am antiwar, always have been, as is POTUS Trump.

    I could hear those bombs from my barracks in Saigon. They were huge.
