Was it reprehensible and irresponsible to appose the Vietnam war?
Edited on Thu Nov-17-05 01:38 PM by Mountainman
If so I am proud to say that I was reprehensible and irresponsible because we didn't let the body count in that war go over 60,000 and now we should be reprehensible and irresponsible enough to not let the body count in Iraq go over 3000!

And I am a Vietnam veteran and like Murtha I like a chicken hawk with 5 deferments to call me reprehensible and irresponsible.

I'm proud to be reprehensible and irresponsible!

2. 24 year vet here saying fuck you cheney
I joined in 72, did not serve in NAM but proudly swore an oath to protect and defend unlike you dickhead. To remain on the wrong course is irresponsible, dangerous and hazardous. Time to get a new quartermaster.

5. '69-'71
No Vietnam service, but riot control duty in Washington DC. Was there for May Day and for the Vietnam Moratorium. I saw 500,000 reprehensible and irresponsible people bring the government to it's knees and force it to stop killing for no reason..

Look up pictures of the events, you might see me. I'll be the one wearing green . . .

7. Cheney can call me reprehensible and irresponsible all he wants.
I came back from Viet Nam, joined VVAW, and hit the streets. I hit the streets again during the run-up to Iraq-nam. I had anti-war LTTEs published on the occasion of 1000 and 2000 US war dead in Iraq-nam. I do not want to have to write another LTTE when the death toll hits 3000 next year, but I will if Cheney has his way. I will channel my reprehensibilities and irresponsibilities into getting that Chickenhawk MoFo disgraced, cashiered, and convicted. Hey Dick, CHECK SIX you fat bastard! We are going to put some serious ink on your ass. We are going to demand some serious legal scrutiny of your foul deeds.

Indict. Impeach. Incarcerate.
