Bush has failed to mentioned annivesary of Veitnam War
According to our media here, Bush or anyone in his adminstration has failed yet to mention the annivesary of the Veitnam war. I wonder what those swift boat guys think of that.

13. The header was misleading---I didn't know you meant the
END of the Vietnam war.

I remember that day as if it were yesterday. We were all transfixed by the television news coverage.

God,time goes by quickly.

15. Embassy people and guards, not troops. We were no longer
participants in the War. Probably I should have made that clearer. I remember and helped pay for the helicopters that were dumped into the ocean.

5. Bush ignores the Vietnam War, and the Vets still vote for him
Bush went AWOL rather than serve in Vietnam. Now, he's ignoring that war. Yet, the Vietnam Vets still vote for him. They are getting what they deserve.

6. Baffling isn't it?
They hate Clinton with an absolute passion, yet they can't get enough of this incompetent bumbler that fucks over the vets every chance he gets.

8. It is truly amazing
Bush is cutting the military, closing bases, has totally fucked over the vets, and went frickin' AWOL during the Vietnam War. Yet, most Vietnam Vets voted for him. Again, I can't feel sorry for them when Bush cuts their benefits and closes VA hospitals. Not only has Bush fucked over Vietnam Vets, he fucked over the first Persian Gulf War POW's by not letting them sue Iraq for torturing them. It's amazing.
