With all your respect as a veteran of war I will have to say that been a veteran does not make you and expert and that people in this forums

My veteran status is noted in my biography as an important part of my life. It has come up in various forums relative to my experience with matters
of war. This evening I related details of my Vietnam tour after someone questioned my having been alive during the Vietnam war.
Aside from that, I suppose it is of little consequence and I do a lot of research and my opinions and positions are based upon considerable knowledge
and experience.
And I don't care how you cut it, GW never was AWOL or a deserter from the NG. Unauthorized absence, Absence over Leave, Absence without Leave and
Desertion are all serious offenses that do not go unpunished. I don't care who you are.

My husband served in Viet Nam, and was in the
Marine Corps for 8 years. He is NOT on your side. My husband is a true patriot but is not blind as you are.
You think other posters are lesser than you because YOU are an Ex-marine.
Not so.
Many veterans do not share in your point of view and see things happening for what they really are. At this point, Kerry would be a much welcome
relief. You're spending way too much time listening to Rush Bimbaugh and other evil talking heads. Now, THERE's a patriotic bunch!
* Just give me 3 hours a day...everyday...so I can brainwash you and posess you...that's all i ask......*



- what WILL they do when
they're defeated? I cant wait!

First off, I do not watch Fox News, I perfer to read foriegn newspapers and research foriegn sites. I've spent 20+ years as an Intel Analyst, so I
know that the American media is very very wrong on the majority of the issues. If you have done so much research, show me the data, I don't want
to see it from Democratic sights, I don't want to see it from Republican sites. I want to see the raw data. Congrats on being wealthy, and for
having friends in trailer parks. I never brought up anything about trailer parks, what makes you think that only poor people live in trailers? what
makes you think that only the poor are Democrates? As far as my calling you a Communist, I did'nt do that, If you look at what I said, like Karl
Marx, I said that in an economic model that supports the government providing everything for everyone is communism. I stiffles individualism, and
promotes collectivism, Why should I work hard for my money, just to have a government take it away in the form of taxes to pay for your not working.
What you are proposing is nothing more than class warfare, Take from the rich and give to the government because they know that the poor need it.
If I paid $500 in taxes and you paid $10, why would you be upset if I got $50 in a tax rebate if you got $1. on the face of it, I got $49 more than
you, so that has to be wrong right, NO, I got back the same percentage of you. Don't be angry because I got a bigger amount back, be angry that you
did not have to pay $490 more in taxes that I did. Don't blame people who work hard if they want to have their tax money back. And since you
brought up Kerry's service in Vietnam, why are you not outraged that he committed war crimes, after all he said that he burnt down villages, As an
officer, he should have reported any war crime he saw, but he didn't, that make him duplicit in them. Don't bring up he was just following orders,
because we know that defense does not work, just ask Lt. Calley, and Herman Gorman.
