(975 posts)You seem to know it verbatim. No never had to ask what ones political party or beliefs were because a long conversations with my soldiers would bring out where they stood. That's not to say some Dem's weren't for the war, but by far it was the guys with something to gain, the ones in the rear that were pro-war. Hell some of them cowardly lifer Republicans even came out and spent a couple of days and nights with us hoping to get shot at so they could claim a ribbon, of course they did that when we were on big op's so there was that safety in numbers thing going for them. Republicans by a majority avoided service in Vietnam I will keep repeating this until I die because they are yellow bellied cowards, afflicted with the Cheney Gene. You have said nothing to change my original opinion. Now post a link to the quote please, and if you can't just admit it was RW BS, I am fine with that too.
