Whatever.

It's AMAZING how many people on this forum claim that they "were there".



I know a LOT of Nam vets. I still keep in touch with some of the guys who were stationed with my dad. Most of them agree that the war was a huge mistake. Funny how it mostly just seems to be people the keyboard warriors on the net, feigning outrage and pretending that it was some sort of noble conflict.

I'm an Army vet, from an immediate and extended family full of vets, so don't condescend to me and pretend that I don't know about sacrifice. My dad paid the ultimate price over there, so pardon me if I don't shed a tear for YOU, who still gets to breath air.

Anyway, it's freakin' hilarious how righties claim that the actions of Hollywood types are "inconsequential", until they start crying about what some celebrity did 40-odd years ago.

Anyway, I guess Victoria Jackson babbling is A-OK, cos it's pure jingoism, and that's all it takes to get the right wingers whipped up these days...

It's so funny watching keyboard warriors who obsess because the POTUS isn't white, pretending to be offended in an attempt to gain internet cred with other internet tough-guys...

Let me clue you in, then...

Obama had absolutely NOTHING to do with the whole "100 greatest women of the century" meme. That was in 1999 with Barbara Walters.

And the POW bullsh*t? Bogus as well.

snopes.com: Jane Fonda and POWs


I know that some folks need someone/something to hate to get through their day. But I just think they should direct that energy towards someone/something deserving instead of just blindly hating who they're told to.
