I hated every minute I spent in Vietnam.
Slick thread derail attempt. Multiple levels of dismissal resistance. You're a pro.
That's right. They were everywhere TV, newspapers, magazines . . . .
". . . the [American] media played a major role in the final downfall of South Vietnam . . . North Vietnam General Vo Nguyen Giap . . . in a French TV broadcast [said that the] 'most important guerrilla during the Vietnam War was the American press.'"
Here I remember those days and I remember Walter "North Viet Nam Communists' Most Trusted Man in America" Cronkite.
By the time Cronkite no longer concealed his desire for a U.S. defeat the "anti-war", pro-Ho crowd had made zombies of the MSM employees. 1968.
I esteem this Vietnam vet preacher Soldiers-BH Clendennen
As did most who served there,I'll wager.But you seem to have strayed from the topic at hand.
Well, I was a pro, but I am retired now. I thought Nam would have been a good assignment, except there was a war going on. I went to Vung Tau once. We heard the VC took R & R there, but if they did, we never knew for sure. Other than that, the VC were not nice people. In fact, I would suspect the vast majority of them were vicious killers, and traitors, who were more than happy to slit throats from ear to ear. I hope you did not have to go there.
Thank you kindly, but I am thinking we possibly may not be on opposite sides of gospel issues. I am on the same side Paul was, until the Romans did him in.
Probably somewhat, but the VC were bad hombres for sure. One of the problems, we never knew for sure who they were. It could get a tad scary.
Yep, follow it up with even more detail. Slick. making you’re point, and all. But there’s one problem - what exactly is your point? I mean, concerning this thread? You want to explain what all your efforts here have to do with Radical Feminist Nuns? Because I know it’s getting in the way of everything you have to say and all, but THAT is the actual subject matter of this thread.
And I don’t know, but if I was someone who wanted to protect those nuns, even do a Left-wing kind of destruction of the entire thread concerning the subject, I might just write a first post like yours. So is that what you’re doing? Cause it sounds like it.
Well, pastor Paul that is the only side to be one, and which did not end even when Caesar did him in! And of course, the NT church did not use the sword of men to fight its battle, but the won anyway. s.
Finding New Connectors to God We will explore the four types of claires --- clairvoyance (pictures), clairaudience (hearing), clair sentence (feelings), and claircognizance (knowing) --- trying to discover one that resonates with you to help you better connect with the Divine power and bring awareness to where you are spiritually. The retreat will combine the Hatha physical practice and meditation practice of Yoga with discussions about the four types of claires, and time for personal reflection. This is a semi-silent retreat; silence will be observed at all times except during our group sessions. - https://www.sinsinawa.org/MoundCenter/RetreatDetail.cfm?num=511

Probably souled out:)
The whole VN part of this article was to compare the abortion-acceptance tactics of radical nuns to the infiltration and subversion tactics of the VC.
Shifting the discussion to personal experiences of Nam completely derails the point of the article.
That’s all I’m saying.
Where to start...
My time in 'Nam was limited to landing at the airport on my way to Bangkok.
"Don't be looking out the windows, guys, 'cause sometimes rebels are along the flight path and like to shoot at the planes as they come and go."
Well; THAT worked well! I think we ALL were gawking out the glass!
The place looked like a jungle strip out of 'African Queen' or something.
The next time I was there was 18 months later, and the airport had been converted in that amount of time to look like DFW!
Square miles of concrete as far as the eye could see!
Oh hush.
We old timers will be gone soon enough.
Let us reminisce while we can...
Who knows; another soul might come to Christ by listening to our experiences.
