I was thinking earlier about the Vietnam War and all those protests. People who basically spat on the honor of the American's fighting over there, that's so wrong it's not even funny. I mean what the hell man. I don't get it, seriously, I don't.

I think there's more wrong with your message than their protests.

By invading Vietnam the government spit on the constitution and their citizenry. They called up young men, against their will, to die for rubber and corporate greed. They perpetuated corporate and big government imperilism.

The Vietnam war shamed our country greatly.

But under the Truman Doctrine, we would assist any country unable to defend itself aganist being taken over their will. And that's what we did, same thing with WWII, only that was on a much greater scale and more to people's understanding. Shaming those who went to fight for YOU and for YOUR life is just wrong.

Fuck the truman doctorine. It violates the constitution, and I'm afraid the constitution over-rides the beliefs of a president. And for that matter, you seem to be obsessed with the Vietnam war, and know little about it. We weren't helping them from being taken over, originally we were backing the French (who were trying to keep it as a colony) and then later on we supported the "republic" faction of rebels against the commie faction only because the republic faction would allow our coprorations to rape their country in the anus ( ... )

I'm saying WWII is on a much greater scale and a much larger threat to humanity. Hitler's massacre of the Jewish population and his invasion and slaughter of several large countries made that war easier to understand why we went in in the first place.
