rehmwa 2 #52 January 14, 2011 I thought the paraphrase was appropriate - on the one hand you claim he was biased and needed to be educated on the other, you note that he's a clear thinking individual that makes decisions based on people's statements and actions, not cosmetic nonsense it's interesting though which position you take clearly lines up with your politics (and I understand your humor, screw the others when they don't) ...

popsjumper 2 #54 January 14, 2011 QuoteIt makes a nice anecdote, but no Vietnam Vets were actually spat on.. that's one of the many collective myths of the Vietnam War. I take extreme exception to that, dude. This one area where you have no clue. PA removed. Your one warning.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Niki1 2 #58 January 14, 2011 These kinds of statements are as wrong as the statements Palin has made. ALL statements like this so nothing to advance any reasonable argument. We can lump them all into the same bag with the shit Al-Quida spouts. I would be described as a "lib".Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

Andy9o8 3 #59 January 14, 2011 QuoteAl-Quida spouts. Notice how close that is to "alfalfa sprouts", which of course are eaten mainly by liberals. Coincidence? I don't think so. It's an obvious code (which HA! HA! I recognize): Libs are for al Quaeda. Where's my congressman? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's an obvious code (which HA! HA! I recognize): Libs are for al Quaeda. Where's my congressman? Most of the time, I would advise people to NOT listen to those voices in their head. In your case, however, I think the voices may have a better grasp on reality. Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

Maybe you should go to college and find out for yourself. There are colleges and there are colleges. Not all professors are created equal, as well. As far as relegating the reports of civilians spitting on soldiers in uniform to unsubstantiated rumor, the professors in question: A) Were not there and B) Did not do their homework A significant amount of academia in every generation is dedicated to the proliferation of nonsense. All too much of what shows up in some textbooks is verifiably false. If you choose to parrot accounts put forth by your professors, take care not to include in your audience eyewitnesses to the events in question.

Wait a second, are you actually suggesting that educating yourself through college is 'slurping off the governments tit', and against what you stand for??

Dude, you're embarrassing yourself and all the college professors out there by spouting off about things you obviously have no clue about. I hope you realize that those of us who were spit on and subjected other forms of verbal and physical abuse were not going to whine to the cops and the news agencies about it. We handled it in our own way, on the spot, and with vigor. You can live by your regurgitation all you want. I don't care. Just don't try to tell us we didn't experience what we did. It seems your glory prof found a couple of stories that didn't pan out and extrapolated that into "it never happened"....and you take it as spoon-fed gospel. Have fun with that. I don't want to hear any more about it. Period.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

matthewcline 0 #73 January 17, 2011 QuoteSorry if I offended any veterans. Certainly wasn't my intention and I thank you for your service. I was just regurgitating the academic consensus on the subject. Well, if you don't take charge of your own education you can go through life spreading lies like that one. I would not call one book recommended by one professor a consensus. Vets where spat on, called baby killers, and even had red paint thrown on them. DOD told returning Vets on Leave to change into civilian clothing to avoid confrontation. They people doing this where not hippies so much as War Protesters. But, as you have now heard from first and second hand accounts, the book is wrong in its relaying of history. You may want to inform your professor of his incorrect teachings.
