10. They certainly drafted

a few HUNDRED thousand of soldiers, with the lack of brains of Forrest Gump, but without the Gump basic comprehension and heroics......

Interesting fact, probably has something to do with McNamara focusing on Blacks.......
Something like 11.3% of all the soldiers in Viet Nam were black, but the blacks accounted for something like 18% of the KIA's.........

I was nauseated with what was being done by Nixon & later Johnson..........but that was infinitesimal to what I am seeing now.
I am consumed, like countless others, with the ANGER I feel now, 24/7/365 and as far as the eye can see into the future.

I often ask people.........Do these Republican Politcians and Voters have kids or grandkids, or do they only care about themselves and their piss ant little short sighted, tiny microcosm worlds they live in??????????

It certainly has to be the later..................

Many of the people I see and talk to, STILL aren't paying attention to what has been going on for the last 45+ years, and especially the last nine years, and just going on about their lives................

"They have all been walking down the jungle path, swatting at mosquitoes, totally oblivious to the herd of charging elephants'"..... pun intended....
