Bringing the Spirit of a Vietnam Vet up to Speed on Iraq
Bringing the Spirit of a Vietnam Vet up to Speed on Iraq

by Dale Hill

In Honor of Robert Kalsu

Well, Robert, I've got to tell you, it happened again. Remember when we were in high school and had to do all those practice sessions, getting under our desks in case of an atomic bomb? As high school students, that nonsense was taught to scare us to death about the possibility of an A-Bomb attack. It was stupid, wasn't it? Hiding under a desk in case of an nuclear bomb! How stupid could we get? It's as stupid as going into Iraq without up-armored vehicles, the top kevlar jackets, and bullet-proof helicopters. Jeez, Robert, we didn't learn a darn thing with Vietnam. Not a thing.

I had hoped that after the Vietnam War, that our wonderful nation would have learned something about war. War is when all else fails and a country is invading our country, ... but no, some of our head honchos are bean heads and didn't learn a thing. Most of them were draft dodgers. Funny thing, Robert, none of the bozos who made the decision to go into Iraq, actually spent any time in a war. Come to think of it, I think I may have had you in another class, ... like Geology and, ... history.

You think those guys that were running the Vietnam thing were idiots? Man, you've got to see who is running this Iraq War! I cannot even describe to you how pathetic these "human pig fodders" are. They think they are the "pack leader" for the Dog Whisperer's dogs. Shoot, these dogs in the White House would be eaten in China as the once a year dog-eating ritual. Who knows, maybe if you hadn't been killed, you could have been president and done some testicle kicking to get these bimbos in line. Robert, they are all whimps, ever last one of them. Every major catastrophe the United States has suffered through, this president and his posse, have failed. Shoot Bob, we have a president who thinks he's Matt Dillon with endless vacation time. He will go down in history as our worst president, ever.

You are now, not the only professional football player who has lost his life in a war. Pat Tillman joined as a Special Units professional and was killed by friendly fire, in Afghanistan. The military lied about how it happened too. They covered it up. He was in Iraq when the bombing started, and he turned to his fellow soldiers and said, "Hell, this is genocide." And that is why we "supposedly" went to war because the despot in charge was committing "genocide." This president is a perpetual liar. They even lied about Jessica Lynch and how she was killing everyone and taken captive. The even planned and filmed a Hollywood rescue. Pathetic.

Oh, I forgot to tell you how we got into this stupid war. The same way we got into Vietnam. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Yep? All those, under-the-desk drills, which scared us into believing Russian planes would be dropping the BIG ONE, well, they did it the same way, only compressed it. You see, our leaders screwed up and had their feet on their desks instead of perusing the signs of a modern day gorilla attack. Dr. Rice filed confidential papers warning of an attack using airplanes into file 13, and two hijacked planes took out the New York Trade Towers and another took out part of the Pentagon. You see, Robert, our president was screwing around in Florida when the planes were hi-jacked and used as bombs to take out the Twin Towers and part of the Pentagon. You'll never believe what happened afterward.

The president put his tail behind his legs and headed for Nebraska or Colorado, while the vice president went into perpetual hiding. You didn't do that when your company was attacked, did you? Of course not. It is the difference between professionalism and whimpologism.

2. Yeah. That's something.
I think about those I knew who died pretty often, at least the ones I knew well.

I usually wonder what they would think of the way it all ended, how things are now.

But then I take something to help me sleep.
