  • The chicken hawks need to be buried once and for all

    It's dispicable that these "brave soldiers with other peoples lives"get even a shred of respectability. They spent their youth avoiding the VN war and any sacrifice on their part. Now they spend their formative years trying to figure out how they can fight a war without paying for it and limiting the sacrifice of life and limb to a small minority of working class guardsman. Out of what swamp do these scumbags get their ethics? As a combat infantry platoon leader during the VN era I am dumb founded how good americans are able to over look the self serving history of this "Band of Bottomfeeders"for a few platatudes about being "born again" and exclamations of "praise the lord". Because of them this country has lost its moral gravatas and the religios right in this country has lost its soul.
