34. My brother in Law was in Nam, I know
a Seal who was in NAM, my hubby served in every major conflict save Bosnia over the last 20 years, as a Navy Man.

We talk about this all the time now...

I also spent ten years as a medic (in somebody else's service) and swa plenty due to the other silent war that many profit from, the so called War on Drugs...

We all have concluded they need these wars, constant warfare is good for them, and their bottom line. We, as a nation have been here before, where Corporations direct the direction of the country... taht is 1900 McKineley America.

Now you are right the scabs from Nam are bleeding, but so are the collecive scabs of the civil war, and civil rights... this country truly is in the midst of an internal and so far, cold civil war.


It may explode, and when it does, you will know it, and I will know it... if things get bad enough (and I beleive they will) this country will explode into Revolution... and I mean a hot open revolt.... the let them eat cake crowd will learn what many others have learned over the course of history.

Of course the other possibity, due to the PNAC papers, is that this country will have to be brought down... and tens of thousands, if not millions will die... but the lesson will not be cheap... and that is my nightmare... but I knwo that is what we have inhertited due to us sleeping at the switch.

Yes there is a difference from Vietnam... LBJ was not plaaning world domination, the Neo Cons are.
