I have no idea why some of the board lefties in here complain about the price at the pump

[Dutch Uncle]

Bad logic. See Vietnam War

Where did he cheer for them to lose?

Agreed. It's also evidence Terry's mind is deteriorating.

Notice how Stone is so concerned about what others are doing / going. It's like he has no life of his own. He only posted this to troll.

Maybe he's in the middle of divorce #3? or was it #4?

 

[Dutch Uncle]

What do you expect from a twice-divorced, ugly, fat slob of a person?

Who admitted he cheated on all three wives. Another reason suspect he's working on divorce #3.

The Magatards were whining about inflation, and now theyr'e tell us that we shouldn't be worried about gas price, and home heating oil.

...and record inflation. They'll keep praising Trump for everything he does because they truly are TDS morons.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

Stoney is quite the piece of work.

He's a 60 year old man-child like most JPP MAGAts.

I think it would have been better in the beginning to fully commit to winning that war rather than just trying to prop up S. Vietnam while doing little or nothing about the Viet Cong or N. Vietnam. By the time Nixon took office, LBJ had utterly fucked away any hope of that happening due to the political issues at home.

That's a different point.

We did NOT do that. The protestors saved many American lives by helping end that war.

That, to me, is supporting the troops. Not supporting unjust wars of choice.

That is the point with the Vietnam war. LBJ LIED his ass off to get us into it, then made a half-hearted, half-assed effort to win, tying US forces' hands behind their back. For example, the US Army was not allowed to bring tanks or other heavier armor and artillery into the theater initially. Then operational areas were defined and the US forces boxed into mostly defensive operations.

That's all on LBJ and the Democrats of the day limiting what was going on after committing to that war. Eisenhower and Kennedy both limited US involvement to just shy of 1000 advisors and instructors who were not allowed to engage in combat. LBJ used the lie about the Gulf of Tonkin incident to get the US into that war.

Most of those old slugs don't go anywhere anyway. Far as I can tell they spend entire whole days just sitting on they're decrepit asses and slinging crap in here all day every day. People like Dutch and some of the others are lucky if they burn a gallon of gas A WEEK ..........Whats the big deal.

Damn, you make a lot of stupid and foul threads.

Well, like I said - that's an entirely different point. We never should have gotten into that war in the 1st place.

But you're really just making my point about protestors.

I pointed out things likely would have been far different if we'd fully committed to winning and defeat of the Viet Cong and N. Vietnam from the start.

That said, I agree with you that we shouldn't have gotten into that war in the first place. Instead we should have tried to work with Ho Chi Mein and the Vietnamese communist front that had been fighting to get the French out of Indochina and had even asked for US support in the 40's and 50's, rather than kicked them to the curb.

It was part of the Cold War in the form of Proxy Wars. The only good thing about the Cold War is that it didn't turn into a Hot War with the PRC or the USSR.

Monday morning quarterbacks like Terry are only proving how far around the bend they've gone by justifying the Vietnam War.

War 101: Never start a war you can't win.

Probably likes his juice also.
