nmuse, perhaps you can't laugh because you realize that the troops would be better off if we'd listen to Fonda and not your Dear Leader.


Yes, I'm sure Hanoi Jane is one of the world's greatest experts in the field of foreign relations--hasn't she often proven her worth in that area? How many Vietnamese did she help the "North" slaughter through her "public relations" work?

Unfortunately for you the troops are volunteers and do know what they are fighting for. I wonder how many of them agree with you and Hanoi Jane?

Now I don't agree with the way the war is being conducted--wars aren't won on the defense. Some earlier comments about the "Slave Revolt" in 88 BC apply here--as do comments concerning Vietnam--revolutions, civil disturbances of an armed nature, etc. aren't won without outside support. Iran is almost as desperate as the ASP to prevent Iraq from becoming a free independent nation.

President Reagan summed it up nicely, "Some people go through their entire lives wondering if they made a difference, Marines don't have that problem!!!"
