Maybe you should educate
I don't think anyone is going to argue that Nam vets were treated very badly by Americans when they were fighting the war.
To suggest that someone has watched too many war movies because they recognize a very real syndrome that afflicts these veterans not only shows YOUR ignorance but detracts from the brave combat duty these soldiers engaged in.
What about all the Agent Orange babies who were born as a result of their fathers' exposure while they were there? Have you ever known or seen one?
My boyfriend was in the First Cav in the Army and was a paratrooper. He gets 200 5-mg Valiums a month from the VA, PLUS 200 Serax to control his PTSD symptoms. In addition to all this, he's an alcoholic. His first marriage broke up because of it, and his first wife tried very hard. She's a VA OR nurse, so she knows the ropes about all this. His youngest son is severely mentally and physically handicapped because of Agent Orange. Medical tests have proven it.
I've met many people, most of them conservatives, who "poo-poo" PTSD and think it's a fake illness. I can tell you from firsthand knowledge that it ISN'T. It is something that stays with them throughout their entire lives, and it not only affects the veteran, it also affects every member of the veteran's family. I know several Nam vets who have committed suicide, with the help of the more than ample supply of drugs freely given to them by the VA Administration. This is a very serious problem, and to suggest that their only problem was protests of the American people does nothing but negate a very real problem that exists.
Yes, they were treated very badly by Americans, but that's like swatting at gnats when a hungry lion is coming towards you.
educate yourself
You are the one who needs an education and I find it offensive that you think you know so much about a religion that you are not of.
No, you really don't want to educate yourself
people stuck on dem/pub party lines and couldn't care less about your country.
You need to educate yourself.
The Defense Department twice asked President Barack Obama for permission to use military force to rescue Phillips, most recently late Friday evening, U.S. officials said. On Saturday morning, Obama signed off on the Pentagon's request, as he had a day earlier, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.
Apparently, Barack Obama had everything to do with freeing this man. You really need to read the news and become educated about an issue before you post such blatantly false accusations.
Go educate yourself. I used to be uninformed too,

If you're going to make a claim, especially about something people should fear, you might want to try including some facts --- assuming you have any.

It's even harder to educate an idiot.

Here - let me try to educate you on a couple of matters
Obama's mother was in Kenya. Could not fly back to the US due to her late stage in pregnancy. After the birth she flew to HI to register the birth that happened in Kenya.
The law at the time of his birth was that a US Citizen may only pass to a child born overseas to a US citizen parent and non-citizen parent if the former was at least 19 years of age. Obama's mother was 18 years old. Therefore, because US citizenship could not legally be passed to him, Obama could not be registered as a "natural born".
Also, if for some reason he could somehow have been deemed "natural born" that citizenship was lost in or around 1967 when he and his mother took up residency in Indonesia where his mother married his stepfather .
But since he was never an American citizen to begin with there was nothing to take away.
Just because you have a mother who is a citizen does not automatically qualify you as a citizen. Just the way the laws were then.
Whether you like it or not those are the laws.
Besides...why is everyone in such an uproar. If everyone is so certain that Obama was born in Hawaii, then why is everyone defending so hard for an independent party to be able to view Obama's original birth certificate - the one he has yet failed to provide.
So, if he is american born, the judges will examine it, and if he's natural born life will move on. If not, you will still have a democratic president. No big deal.
Educate yourself. Read the post above that says they stalk.
That's what "no child left behind" means: A high school education in exchange for your kid dying for Bush.
Certainly the Jews have suffered enough but not enough for Cindy. Educate yourself. nm
If you are going to give money to re-educate the auto workers....... sm
then it would follow that money should be given to sustain and re-educate the people in other industries (MT comes to mind) that are suffering because of big suit mismanagement and jobs going overseas. What about the thousands upon thousands of other displaced workers in the public sector that have lost their jobs? Will they need to be re-educated as well? Will there be jobs available to them, even if they are re-educated?
Maybe that's what all those re-education centers all over America are for. hmmmmmmm
