Blackie
New Fish
I will be spending 8 hours on Monday giving poppies away in Seattle. Although the vast majority of people are nice and respectful, between 5-10% are not. I receive comments that I haven't heard since the 60's and early 70's.
Unfortunately, the VFW and American Legion both frown on me exercising my 1st Amendment rights when I encounter those comments.
I did 2 tours in Viet Nam. (As a 2Lt my boss was 1Lt Mike Dann. So, the movie was true.)
Some of my dear friends' names are among the 52,000+ on a certain wall in DC and I really don't appreciate those comments.
If you see Vets passing out poppies on Monday and do not respect Veterans, please be respectful enough to just keep your comments to yourself.
Thank you.

Much prefer this version
It was late and I was drunk. (Reason for typo.) That and some people in here (like Blackie) piss me off.
Blackie, LEAVE THE COUNTRY, and go fuck yourself.
Why on earth would I leave a country that is geographically situated so as not to have any realistic threats?
I'm sorry you sold your soul to be used as a pawn to blow fart bubbles in rice fields.
See supra.
I didn't sell my soul. Unlike you, I have [had] a conscience. A lot of kids that didn't get a student deferment, or didn't go to Canada were dying in a war they didn't start. (The fucking French started it protecting their fucking colony that had mineral wealth.) I dropped out of college and enlisted because of guilt.
My boot camp bunkie was an illiterate black kid from Mississippi. I had to teach him to sign his name so he wouldn't have to sign the payroll roster with an X. He died there. I was the only white face at his funeral.
Six months later I was at the old UW HUB in uniform and the SDS tried to trap us in a room and started a fire. The fuckers didn't realize that we were all carrying loaded 1911's. It was pretty much bullshit, but I still remember it vividly. My second tour was actually better than being on active duty CONUS with cock suckers like you around.
A mother fucker like you wouldn't understand. Again, go fuck yourself.
So since you somehow didn't DIAF, I take it the overuse of pictures on your posts is your own little Ted Striker-esque way of a dealing with your ptsd. Is Ethel Merman in the bed next to you?
