SS is going to get tired of this goofing off, lol!
Very funny!! I would post one for you but my ladyfriends send me pretty risque stuff!!
[accurate accessment ]
Just how many of them have YOU examined?? Ahhh, that's what those secret seminars were all about!!
Missed out on that, did you??
These little ditties can go on for some time....
You know, when people say, "You say in your book, 'we win wars,' but what about Vietnam and Korea? That's a loss and a tie." I say, "well, in one sense, yes, and it makes my point that we learn from our losses" and I go into the guts of my chapter 4, "Learning from Loss." Then, I say, "in another sense, were these really WARS or BATTLES within the COLD WAR? If that's the case, we didn't win the battles any more than we won Kasserine Pass, but we won the war because strategically we achieved our purpose, if tactically we temporarily redeployed."

As always, well said.
Turns out Godly America's Military Cold War with a Godless Soviet Union was also an economic war.
In the end the Soviet Union just could not afford to fund the wars of National Liberation they had funded against us for decades. Thus the Vietnam War helped bring on the eventual fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union.
Would a DAN RATHER, WALTER CRONKITE or TOM BROKAW report this to the American People?
No, but we Freepers sure do.
Thank GOD.

There is a good book on this by Ed. Luttow called "Ronald Reagan and His Quest to Abolish Nuclear Weapons."
Yep. Good analysis. BTW, I was watching "The Making of 'Patton'" and Oliver Stone had what was, even for him, an utterly absurd statement. He said that it was after watching "Patton" that Nixon decided to bomb Cambodia, turning the "non-aligned" Khmer Rouge into America haters, thus causing the Cambodian genocide. So it was the movie "Patton's" fault that 2 million Cambodians were killed, not the Commies' fault.
What the hell does this mean?

I'll NEVER FORGET how Sen. TED KENNEDY's fooling us into cutting off all our funding for the then Free South Vietnamese Military to fight for their own Freedom with against Communist invaders from the North,
...and then cutting off even our Humanitarian medical aid to them as well,
...brought for all of us to sadly see in the end:

And now Sen. TED KENNEDY would have it all happen again in the Middle East, instead of our bringing Freedom to the Many so that ours is more safe at home.
The Enemy is now Withn...
...and always has been.
