''I am a Viet Nam veteran''- David Miller

Candy, don't be stupid. I never said that the accounts of veterans returning home from Vietnam were untrue.

I am also well aware that they were sometimes not treated properly. I don't have any "narrative" about that. So while you may be "certain" about my reaction to the book, you are also dead wrong.

I read a collection of Greene's columns, called "He Was a Midwestern Boy on His Own." Aside from the Bob Seger reference in the title, which I thought was cool, I enjoyed his writing. So I suspect that book would be a good read as well.

I in fact had many older relatives who served in Vietnam. The "narrative" of them being jeered at and spat upon was, according to them, exaggerated. They reported mostly indifference and benign neglect. That's also what I observed, informally---it was only a small segment of society that was stigmatizing them. I don't think they deserved to be regarded any differently than veterans of other wars.

Exaggerated or not, they did not deny it happened.

Oh my, Kevin, you are such an optimist!

I know...and I expect our Trumpers to at least occasionally act like decent human beings. How naive of me. I even believed that after Anthony's recent warning, Stalker would become somewhat civil. That lasted 48 hours.

There are degrees of Trumpishness among our resident scumbags. Stalker is nasty and irredeemable. Boiler is a crusty, obnoxious old man whose basic method is to lie about something another person said and then criticize him for it. He also has a troglodytic view of society. Tom simply gets a laughable number of things factually wrong and will scream at you when you point that out. Charles is somewhat more intelligent than the others, but his viewpoints are colored by hate.

In contrast, DonDiego seems to be more tainted by Hillary-hatred than anything else, and Candy was apparently programmed with conservative ideology long ago--so long ago that she cannot escape it now. But they seem like decent people. If I shared a lifeboat with Stalker, Boiler, Tom, or Charles, I would tip them overboard, or maybe kill them and eat them if they were fat enough (probably too old and tough, though). DonDiego and Candy---I'd pass the survival rations around.

Kevin's above post is classic example of a person suffering from delusion.

How about the PTSD you suffer from, poliwag Davee-boi?

Care to duscuss this matter?

Sounds fake, much like everything you claim.

I see toad is back and revving up his stupidity machine. It was so pleasant here yesterday while he was away licking his wounds for being ignorant enough to have started this thread. "Stuck on stupid" is an apt description for this moron.

I started this thread because you're a liar. And as far as not being ''here yesterday'', that's because I have something you lack. A life.

Carry on, Davee-boi.

 If only the toad was here. I would be happy to show him my military records and shut his ignorant mouth once and for all. But alas, he will just keep mouthing off - that is what he does. 

Keep lying. That's what you do.
