#1 This is more than the typical GI bitching. The scenes depict the all to familiar attitude I encountered on my second tour of Vietnam in 68-69. The telltale signs of disciplinary rot are quite evident. What else can we expect when there is a "No Win" strategy emanating from the Commander and Chief". Every day I fear more and more that the outcome will not be good.

#2 I have some doubts about the authenticity of this video. Why is the guy talking the most crap wearing a uniform that is several years out of date? Why doesn't the sound synchronize with the video when they are taunting the kids?

How old, armyguy? And what are the cues that we should have noticed?

#5 Even if it is old... Do you think the country smells any less like ass now than it did then?

Do you think Dear Leader has morale soaring to new heights as we win hearts and minds, influence people and make friends?

Its a shithole, it was a shithole when the ruskies were there, it will be a shithole after we leave. Who would want to be there?
