I'm not talking about vietnam....
I'm talking about your earlier points saying that the military should do whatever it takes to get things done...which is a scary-as-hell statement, if you care about human rights and stuff..
You're acting as if you missed entire parts of all my posts and only focusing on one sentence I said, and taking is completely out of context.
If you really think what I meant by that statement was to just to go ahead and kill everyone in sight, then you really don't know me at all. Please go back and reread all my posts. I don't feel like repeating myself all over again here.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
