Yeah I've always pondered this. Why would you boast about participating in the mindless bloodbath
that was 'Nam? I guess he uses it to show he's dedicated to America and served in a war; and to be
fair, he was held as a prisoner of war by the Vietnamese for a long time. But still, 'Nam was a
crime against humanity like you said. |

Remember the us not only bombed Nam but Cambodia and Laos, using napalm on peasant villages, which
is hardly an honourable thing to do. Probably not on a par with the holocaust, but certainly one of
the worst since. John McCain doesn't seem to have learnt the lesson from Vietnam that the USA cant
and shouldn't subdue a people and impose their doctrine, truly an imperialist war. |

Yes, war is horrible, but we haven't come up with something better to replace it. Many men and some
women have given up their life for our country, and other people to protect them from different
things. They've stood in the face of death and accepted what happened to them.So be proud of those
who have sacrificed their life to make yours better, it's the least you can do. |

Heck Hidell, I figured that the Vietnam war would be a war that you would love seeing to the fact
that American involvement was started and mostly ran by Democrat administrations.
I love it when all the Dem's say Iraq is 'another Vietnam'. They should know....
P.S. By the way- Have you ever done a political debate in which more people agreed with you than
not? Even one? |

What your statement says, SERVICE in VTNM was wrong. I disagree, service by young men & women is
never wrong. The decisions made by the governed officials, may be in question regarding sanity, but
SERVING, no never wrong. |

Lol...
Nice comparison. Anyway, I kinda wish the French wouldn't have been over there. But that's just
me.
By the way, for us over here in America...McCain has always been reluctant to bring up his Nam
experience. He's been in politics for a long time...he's pretty much kept it out of it. In fact,
even his political enemies have wondered out loud why he hasn't used it more.
And by the way ya retard, maybe the US should've smashed North Korea and taken it over. The world
may have been better off. It's debatable. |

The Vietnam War wasn't the "best" war in history, however we shouldn't criticize the members of the
US Army for their duty to their country. They were not mass murderers and were simply following
their duty laid out by those higher in office. Plus the conscription of troops (the draft) was
still around back in the 60's and early 70's and many people didn't have the choice to serve. Wars
are a sad truth in this world and are always in some ways "unjust", however there should be some
pride in serving your country, unless there truly is something in a soldier's career to be
remorseful for. |

Lol i like the new word which has come about "Hitlerian"
But unfortunately there are many things which can be learnt from war, It is a fact of life just as
going to University is, read many wartime novels and you will see that many people conscripted into
the army learnt more from war than any other thing they had partaken in.... But it is only
permissible in so far as they may have learnt from their lessons. |
