Nobody has provided me my talking points. I dream this **** up all by
myself.

I remember back when I was so anti-war during the Vietnam era (luckily
I was a little to young to die). Then I learned about the millions of
Cambodians that paid the price of us giving up too soon. Just one
example of the outcome of childish simplistic "can't we all just get
along" thinking. I've grown up now and come to realize that America
cast her lot back at the time of the Civil War. We will forever line
up to die to try and right wrongs in the world wherever they exists.
We have been pretty good at it although it is clearly an imperfect
game in an imperfect world.

We didn't give up too soon. We concluded a Peace Treaty with the North
Vietnamese, complete with handshakes and everything. Henry Kissenger got the
Nobel Peace Prize for the effort.

A year after our last combat troops had left South Viet Nam, the Democrats
in Congress cut off all military assistance and funding to the country. The
North Vietnamese invaded the South again. With no bullets, the South fell.

Long before the last of our troops left, the Demonrats cut funding to
the war and thousands of our soldiers died as a result of being over
there without any way to defend themselves.


I'm still conflicted over who was the most perfidious: The North Vietnamese
or the Democrats.

Demonrats. When will they ever learn?

In all fairness, that was rank stupidity, not perfidy.

Fairness my ass. They continue to know what they're doing and they
don't care. It's beyond perfidy, it's treasonous. I'd prefer
beheadings or drawing and quartering, but what's going to happen to
them in November will at least help stop our losses. IF America as we
know it survives until then.
