First of all this was a veterans day thread, how did it turn into an anti-war/ Zinn thread?
quote:
You say that as if it is relevant.
And who are you? Some random person posting on an internet message board. I don't know you very well, but i trust his credentials over yours any day.
I am sure I have seen more horrors of war first hand from my vantage point then Zinn has, but I digress.
quote:
Would you guys beat him up for claiming that some of you fought in unjust wars?
Beat him up? Ofcourse not, but laugh him out of the place, sure.
quote:
Would you be questioning his credentials if you agreed with him? Besides, i didn't know you had to be infantry to have an opinion on veteran's affairs. Maybe you could go down to your vfw and rant your BS about the credibility bombadiers lack because they have no direct man to man combat experience.
I already have been there with a copy of his little rant,
and I recieved comments raging from,
was he ever on the ground,
in WW1 during treanch warfare thats how they fought
and my favorite was.... wanna buy a french rifle nearly new, never been fired only dropped once.
The wonderful Mr. Zinn will be at Rutgers here in Jersey in April next year, I am looking forward to attending and asking him some questions.
Maybe even invite him down to my VFW which is only 2 miles away.
