Of course there are two sides to every story and well old fat white guys fought sacrificed life, limb and untimely interruptions in their lives to keep America safe and in return they find America turned over to the crazies that have absolutely no concept of how great traditional America was and that those values are what made America great./QUOTE]
Us old fat white guys (and old fat black guys) did volunteer or get drafted and too many did lose lives, limbs, or others - but Vietnam was not about keeping America safe. It was a civil war that the US should not have been involved with in any way.
Americans would not back a reinstatement of the draft.

Dear Guest: Forgive my oversight of including blacks etc from serving that was not my intent as I witnessed that they all served proudly
My comments were to draw distinctions between traditional America vis a vis the "new normal" Under the new normal white guys are the instigators of all this is bad and evil since the beginning of time. As an example a black woman refused to study the classic because it was mostly written by white guys whom she believed created all of human man kinds problems.
My cousin served in the Air Force and then upon discharge re-enlisted and went to Vietnam on two separate deployments. I was in the US Navy at that time.
The Vietnam war was not wrong the politicians were mistaken in bowing to the pressures of the same people who have been waging a cultural war in America since the 1960's.
So let me restate I am focused on traditional values and not ethnicity
Look what those 50 years of decadence ,social upheaval, push for secularism and disrespect for authority has yielded. You can see it in most movies, television shows, on colleges campuses or high schools, single mother percentages ..................................
But the pendulum swings both ways and I believe in the basic goodness of people and a return to Patriotism God and America's greatness.
