 | America First, I think you're 'seeing' things. I've done google searches using various combinations of the information you've provided - with zero results. I think you believe what you wrote - but I sincerely believe you've misunderstood what you think you're heard. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

| I do remember folks saying that the military was not respected during the Viet Nam war, but I believe it was a hard war to fight. And that there was a lot of negative public opinion about the war at the time, but not a very common experience for other military men to have faced what A-1's family endured. That seems quite the exception to the norm. I remember the hippies coming to town. I thought they were so cool in their painted vans and tie dye shirts ...and there wasn't any one of them that was for the war, but there wasn't any one of them that would have ever said anything bad to a soldier. They would have been more like, "That's cool man..." And left it at that. It is also true that the soldiers from Viet Nam did not come home to a heroes welcome like in WW2. That was not their fault, but again the nation was not supporting the the war efforts there. As to our not finding anything on the google searches we have done, maybe per this topic in the thread, we ought to all first get stoned!!! Then who knows what all we might find??? Anyhow here is Our Stoned Party! OD | |||||||||||||||||||||

| oh dear, there were definitely instances of soldiers being treated with great disrespect after their homecoming from VietNam. It is not one of the proudest moments of America. But America First is saying that it is happening NOW with soldiers returning from Iraq - and I have never heard/read/seen one thing about it now. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

He said that it was the liberal pacifist and hippy element that did these mean things to his father. I am sure it was a much more purposeful political group that would have done such a thing... And I do know that kinda thing can happen and it shows the hypocrisy in anyone comes out when folk organize around a cause. The cause gets bigger than each one's own integrity is what happens. When I was in the UK, at an American Base, there was a group that set up camp outside the base. They were the CND for Nuclear Disarmament. And off and on, a police constable had to come and tote a few off for getting in a squabble with each other, for physical abuse to a child or to a wife. And they also did throw bricks at the school busses of children that were there because their Daddys or Mommys were serving in the Armed Forces. That is deplorable and not unlike perhaps the mentality of those who hurt A-1's family. But they were no truly pacifist hippy. They were troublemakers looking for a cause to duck into cos they had no better purpose going on in their lives. And it is just as unfair to lump liberals and pacifists with them as it is to lump all who are pro-life with the few that shoot abortion doctors. Again, what happened to the military after Viet Nam was not a dishonor initiated by most pacifists. First and foremost, it was the government and the politicians that let those folks down the most.

Last night I was at a late party with my friends and I ended up driving home with my cousin at 4am. On the highway, I saw a car ahead swerving from the far left lane to the far right lane..then hitting the brakes randomly. I knew this guy was drunk out of his mind...I should have called the cops but I didn't. I really don't even know if that guy could of made it home driving like that.. Now if someone smoked a good amount of pot, I'm sure that at 4am they would not be swerving out of control. Actually, I saw a video online of someone who volunteered to smoke a lot of pot so they can observe his driving habits, before and after. I believe he was going slower, and trying to be more careful when he was high. Now if you do the same test but with alcohol, clearly the effects are going to be different, and worse in the case of alcohol. So why isn't pot legal?? Well it seems that HotShotGG was right on the money. | ||
