Do the facts drive the narrative or does the narrative drive the facts Phillip ?

Obama was too young for Vietnam. He's younger than I am, and I'm too young for Vietnam. I served from '77 to '81, too late for that mess.

I am not defending Obama, but fair is fair, and comparing him to those other idiots just isn't "period correct".

You are correct, GG. It was an atrocity. Committed by a political party that continues to commit atrocities today, but which you apparently champion nonetheless.

Really Phil, the point you oughta be makin', who were the defense contractors receiving the governments largess and who were the politicians awarding it?
Then take that a step further and figure out who got the kickbacks.

But that wouldnt drive the narrative now would it?

Wrong, like all you fools that still believe Viet Nam was started by Johnson and we didn't have any troops there until '65. When in fact, it was Nixon that first sent troops their as VP under Eisenhower while the French were still there. Most of you all don't know nothin from nothin.

Guessing this is true, but I never crossed paths with such during my tours. Well, except for a couple unit commanders that were clearly retarded.

And Biden likes to drone kill innocent civilians too

Trump ended that killing of civilians but Dementia Biden started it up again.

She just wanted to post about Trump and Cheney.

I believe it. I was in RVN 1968. had a troop working for me that kind of fit that category. In 1966 when I was there a kid out on the range picked up 2 mortar shell and banged the ends together. Boom. In thinking back he probably fit that group.

Something rarely ever brought up when talking military deferments during the Vietnam war is the approved deferment for skilled trade apprenticeships which many took advantage of to avoid avoid serving in Vietnam.

A good friend of mine at the time did this. Late teens, fresh out of high school, lived at home with his parents, from an ordinary working class family, not wealthy or with political influence. He took advantage of a body repair and paint apprenticeship program offered at the vehicle dealership where he was already working. Wound up years later owning his own successful body repair / paint shop.

He did this mainly on the advice of his older brother who told him to do whatever he could to stay away from Vietnam. His brother was Green Beret (I know he was SF because I saw his dress uniform and beret) and had just recently finished his military obligation, got out, and never looked back.
