Maybe I will get attacked for saying this here but I think Stone should get credit for volunteering to go to the Vietnam War, he could have stayed in college and avoided it.

I’m sure we can all agree that we don’t like many of his political views but the beauty of this country is he has the right to say them and for what it is worth I have a high amount of respect for his military service. How many Hollywood types can you picture volunteering for a war, and for the infantry, here is a blurb from Wikipedia:

A veteran of the Vietnam war, Stone served with the U.S. Army from April 1967 to November 1968. He specifically requested combat duty and was assigned to the 25th Infantry Division and the 1st Cavalry Division, and was wounded twice in action. His personal awards include the Bronze Star with “V” device for valor for “extraordinary acts of courage under fire”, and the Purple Heart with one Oak Leaf Cluster.

Its not what Stone did back when. Its his hardcore liberalism of today that bothers conservatives. His hatred of Republicans and his anti-American politics. And the fact that he made a lot of money by exploiting the Vietnam War, with his leftwing viewpoint.

Yep sure will thank him for his service, Just like Murtha back then.

Both of these JERKS don’t get anything but scorn for me now!
