Sounds like he's still pissed that Canada gave sancuary to Vietnam draft
dodgers.
And is still puzzled that Canada would not support a war that "Nobody knows
wat we are fighting for", yet let any Canadian that wanted to go fight in
the Vietnam war. Why I think we just may have the most Vietnam war veterans
than any other country that did not support America in a politically wrong
war. Something like 14,000. That would be like 140,00 of you, by percentage,
and we not only didn't have a draft, but absolutely nobody had to go that
didn't want to go.

Now that is a lot of freedom. But freedom on paper and f reedom in practie
are two different animals. Wasn't the Soviet Union a free society on paper?

My question  then is if you guys are as free as you think, how come you have
accepted complete censorship and propaganda in place of the people's right
to know? Noticed this shit in the last war, Dessert Storm, where no meda was
allowed, and only carefully crafted proaganda was packed and fed to media.
This time is acontinuation ofthat policy.

NOW AS Americans, all of you who were alive during the vietnam war know that
it was the media exposing that war for what it was that ended it. The
pentagon has identified that it was the media who they lost the war to, and
hence public support, and hence money and human resources to fight it.

Who really knows what the Military is doing to Afganistan. Sure. I HAVE NO
DOUBT THE America people will find out, but long after, when they can't do
anything about it, because its over and done with.

I recall watching the Vietnam war every evening on the news. War is
horrifying. War can be just. War can be right. But it can also be very, very
wrong. ANyone from the Vietnam era knows that is true, and anyone from the
WWI or II era knows that is true. But how do we know what is true when the
freedom of the press has been halted???

And what is this Jingoism that is attacking common sense and freedom ???

Now, I am hungry, got a 10 for a pizza?
