The current state of Free Republic looks like an insurrection to me. Just negative comments now, no old soldiers speaking out. I grew up at Fort Hood Texas, showed up in dippers and grew up watching my friends go to and die in Vietnam. My brother survived, I enlisted in 74 but my brother was still in country so I stayed state side, still pisses me off.
My left side next door neighbors (more military brats) both went Dewy was my brothers age and went first. They called it the draft and eligible military dependents seem to have just showed up first on the list. On the other side of the house were the Browns three brothers and two served in country, Danny (house to the left) was closer to my age and went as well. He told me of the horrors of the last flights out he witnessed. I grew up and lived with the death of my class mates friends. Now you want to change history to meet the needs of your useless woken community. The consideration for OUR history comes first. If you have not walked a mile in my shoes do not try to use me for your social injustice. Sorry if I said something wrong Jim, this just hurts like hell.
I am with you and hate what these woke bastards have done to my country.
It was just a casual observation from someone who has studied The Civil War. If I have offended you, I offer my apologies.
