But you probably weren't asking me that because you wanted to know, for whatever reason you seem to have a problem with this thread and with me in general and I don't seem to remember doing anything to deserve it.
Oh jesus, why don't you have yourself a good cry.

The reason I asked is because no one believes you should kill innocent civilians, and no one beleives it was an honorerable war. Thats why I asked about you wanting it to be the 60's earlier.

I don't know a single person who feels that Vietnam was justified. In fact the president then said "if we're going to go into Vietnam, why don't we go into Cuba since its of much higher national securities interest."

So I don't think, especially on MB, that anyones going to "justify" killing people. And for christ's sake its an internet form, stop assuming people hate you because of their interactions on it.
