6. I'm Betting None Were Alive During Nam...
The South was standing on it's own two in 1973? Uh, hey hero, what the hell happened in April, 1975? Ya know when the North Vietnamese Army just rolled down the coastal highway and walked right into Saigon. Yeah, it was sure standing.

We pounded the shit out of that country...over 2,000,000 dead, but military might isn't what wins wars...it only pushes the politicians. Still, we could have stayed in that country another 10 years, killed another 2,000,000 and there's be more Vietnamese ready to face us. It's called nationalism...fighting for one's country.

These human excrement remnants still haven't figured out that the Iraqis like the Vietnamese like Americans aren't too crazy about having their country occupied...especially by an oppressor whose only interests there are for taking from the country, not giving. There's no incentive for these people to want to work with or support us and as more and more of their people are killed, their towns destroyed and lives ruined, the more will take up arms and resistance until we're chased out.

I've seen a lot of "experts" on Vietnam who were in pampers or not even a "twinkle" in those days. Somehow, their 28 or so years (including 10 years of non-stop Rushbo drinking) makes them authorities on all topics and superior to all.

Their fall will be oh, so sweet.
