If Deadeye Dick HAD gone to Vietnam....

How many more friendly fire victims might there have been?

[The Backlash Cometh]

1. Well, two things. He would have had a different perspective

about war, avoiding the Iraq war; and maybe he would have gotten the trigger-happy desires out of his system.

2. His own men would have fragged him...

"Crazy f--cker woulda got us all greased. One frag under the cot... sorry 'bout that." :patriot:

3. He could have never have gone to Vietnam ... if he had been killed we

would have never had a chance to observe him become unbelievably wealthy dealing in weapons and oil and we would have never observed him plotting to bamboozle a nation and the world and romp with weapons traders and pimp for war and death with no accountability to the common person. And he would have never had the pleasure of hunting on ranches in Texas.

He would say it is one thing to deal in weapons of mass destruction and plan to drop nuclear bombs on Iran - it's another thing to trigger a hunting gun. Simple is sometimes more difficult. Waging wars and figuring out how to sustain perpetual wars is easier.
