People are using the term "cut and run" .. like we are cowards if we pull out of this unfinished war where over 3,000 troops have been killed. Yet, for those of you who are old enough to remember the Vietnam War, or look back in the history books. You will find that when President Johnson left office, and had about 500,000 troops in Vietnam .. ( he kept building up troops as told to do .. ).. When Republican Richard Nixon came into office he had a "secret plan" to get us out of Vietnam. It was eventually called: "Leaving with Honor". Vietnam was a war we lost, the first one for America. Yet he realized it was time to pull out. What is the difference today? The Conservative Neocons want people to feel guilty for getting our men home. "Cut and Run" .. is just a rotten label or slogan to use .. when we did the same thing in Vietnam .. Nixon said .. "Leaving with Honor" . What is the difference between today and then ? Anyone care to say ? Esp. the Conservative NeoCons ???
