A thoughtful interview with a Vietnam Vet

<< < (2/2)

Trauma-san:
The point of my post was you found a vietnam vet with similar views as your own.  So of course you 'feel it'.  If I posted an interview with a vietnam vet who supported Bush @ the war in Iraq, you most definately wouldn't feel it.  All you're doing is supporting your own beliefs, you're not learning anything or teaching anything, just like I wouldn't either if I posted some interview with some pro-war supporter.

man ur such an ignorant fool, Im not taking any sides and niether is Tim O'Brien , he has nowhere stated that he SUPPORTS BUSH or KERRY. He is only being real at this war shit and just informing us all of the situation of soldiers and everyone in war. Noone is taking any sides or is supporting BUSH. I suggest u read my AMerica's AMnesia and Abu, Ghraib, USA post. Im not supporting anyone, i only posted these articles as i thought they would bring in some insight bout the war and prison abuses and as to how its nothing new and it even happens in USA prisons from time to time.

Im not even an American, I live in Canada. And im against the war in Iraq anyway, this article and the others I've posted were very thoughtful and informative to anyone. Im not taaking any sides and niether is O'brien.

This was a good interview, I think many soldiers of many nations come to a similar realization. I especially liked this quote : "When are we going to learn that we're as capable of evil as the next guy in the next country?" And the stuff he says about how you're not only at war just your own morality, but you're up against a lifetime of memory, and how it's hell for both sides, and how both sides think they're doing the right thing.

YAll should check your interpretations of these articles and no be so biased.

that's because you support war, but even at war age, you are not willing to go into a war you support. He doesn't support war, and has gone to war to back his case. He mentions how people who put us in war have not been to war, and someone that wants us out of war, has been through war. I feel it. I don't support war, so I am not going, and if I was a leader, I'd avoid war. My father was in Vietnam, he doesn't support war. My uncle is dying from Agent Orange from Vietnam, and he doesn't support war. But my cousin, who never has seen battle supports war. I feel it.

Well, Einstein; him saying we're as evil as the people we're invading doesn't strike you as an admonisment of the Bush administration? Are you really so blind that you can't see this guy is clearly speaking out against the war? LOL
