I was in a music store the other day. The usual assortment of morons were there. You know the kind..tattoos everwhere, pierced noses, blue hair. Listening to them talk was like listening to Jane Goodalls chimpanzees..grunts, cursewords, slang. Nothing coherent or intelligent. Upon leaving I noticed an amazing thing ..a BOOK for saleA Book popular with illiterate morons!? What could it be?..Well of course Noam Chomsky's latest!!. Seems like Chimpsky has a highly predictable audience.

the war, yah know wasn't going as planned. bombing civilians in the north and in cambodia was a CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN thing. let's not forget, nixon never asked congress to murder 600,000 cambodians through the bombings. this action led to the rise of the bloodiest regime in the world at the time, murdering 3 million of its citizens.

Pulitzer Steinbeck:Communists=good; US troops=NazisAmerican Journalists=war hero; US troops=NazisBerkeley Student Union=war heroes; Us Troops=Nazis. Yea, fair, balanced, reasonable. Walter Kronkite is retired, a millionaire. His favorite past time, sailing his million dollar yacht. Yep, America is going to pay dearly for all of this excellent journalism: Nazi American government. Bastard US Marines. Crazy Vietnam War Vets. US atrocities victimizing the world. Hero draft dodgers. Yep

And all of the so called 'iconic' pictures. Not one of them is accurate, they all have some perverted distortion. That's not journalism any more than Jane Fonda's 1972 communist propaganda speeches incouraging the deaths of US criminal troops. Absolutely incredible. But, the price has yet to be paid for this hypocracy. The American privileged men and the US media are America's weakness. Bin Laden knows. He needs only exhaust the fighting troops and the rest will follow quite predictably.

The incredible hypocracy of this joker (journalist) Steinbeck leads us to the legacy of Vietnam. Notably, US Vietnam Vets are not Nazis and never were. We were the good guys. Now, the majority of American privileged men need only say ATROCITY or My Lai to 'honorably' shirk war duties.Bin Laden knows most American men will never fight for the United States ever. They will sabatoge the US government,run or pretend service.Bin Laden only needs to exhaust the fighting troops.Then it is game over.

Yep. 'Dispatches' is a great read showing the intense hatred the US media had for US troops. The author, a US journalist hero wrote of US Marines "the dirty little killer kids.."; Yep, for forty years I've been a war criminal in my own country. My crime, fighting in Vietnam as a Marine and never apologizing. Walter Kronkite, Jane Fonda, John Kerry, Ron Kovich,the Berkely Student Union are the American heroes, S.Vietnanese abd US Marines are Nazis. Incredible, absolultely incredible.
