The Vietnam Syndrome (graphic) - NEVER forget

[The Straight Story]

Fuck war, and screw all this hell we are putting our kids through and screw all this shit we are putting others through.

Who votes for war anyway? Not the people who have kids in the way of war.

Has the human race come to this? That we can do such things to one another for power, resources, etc?

No my friends, I think MOST all of us can get along and do the right thing for each other. Sadly, there are a few - with power - who look out for their own best interest and the interests of their friends.

cold bastards will burn in hell.

It is NOT just the US, it is a lot of others as well.

Screw you all. Most the people on this planet want to get along and have simple lives.

I believe in a God and a Hell - because I believe that people who start wars like this (and others) will someday spend a long time in such places.

We all have power over others - but MOST of us choose not to use it in such horrible ways. Those that do - well, I hope to God you end up in a place where you feel the pain that you have caused.

Being the guy I am I hope you learn from such pain and can move on to a better place. I don't want you to suffer any more than I want others to suffer under your rule.

What have you done in our name?? I can see fault in what others have done easily, but I expected better from this country.

When we become what he hate about our enemies, we have lost. And I am here to say we have lost.

A sad day indeed.

1. I am tempted to echo the Pastor. Our family has had one child with

leukemia and a veteran die from Agent Orange so I have always wondered what this mess looked like in Vietnam. This is unforgivable.

2. Damn shame what we humans have chosen to do to one another

And to think, the money I work for each day is taxed so that we can do things like we are in Iraq.

3. not just vets - civilian employee chemical exposure

I cannot prove it, but I am sure the years Hubby worked at a naval shipyard ('69-'73)as a civilian employee have contributed to his illnesses. At age 61 he is slowly dying from congestive heart failure. He has had almost all the complications caused by diabetes, including kidney failure.

And as this things go, he doesn't have any idea to which chemicals he exposed. He worked in the machine shops, with lots of degreasers, solvents, and machining oils. I wonder how many others working in the same shops are still alive and healthy.
