I wonder what the average age here is? Are those War-Mongers here KIDS in short pants or NEOCON Fools?

Question

After my question on Vietnam, it just showed me that too many here are either school kids or the post Vietnam experience has been easily forgotten by wishful thinkers. Usually Conservatives. Mind you many of them would have been in hiding or their daddies would have sent them to schools in Britain or Australia.

HOGHEAD, 10 less than you pal, any I remember those desperate men who the system cast aside after 'fighting for their country'

HogHead, thanks for your added details. I respect everyword that you write specifically as you experienced what most here do on their Play stations and just do not understand the sanctity of life. I agree, I would defend my family's write to exist in Peace, but I also respect the right of others to defend their families if I go into their back yards. That's all I ask. Equity of mind, thought and action.

Answer 1

Mine is not "post" Viet Nam experience. I lived "during" the Viet Nam experience. If one didn't, then they are poorly equipped to weigh in on the subject.

As far as being a conservative is concerned, I'll plead guilty as charged. It should be noted, during this experience, I, like so many others, was liberal because I had a heart, Now, like many others, I am a conservative because I have a brain.

As far as those who headed for Canada, hiding behind their daddies or attending school else where, those folks were the liberals (not always, but usually). You have the two parties mixed up.

54 years of age. How many revolutions around the sun have you made, my friend?

The draft (which few 18 year old males register for, even though it is a Federal statute) of the day was run as a lottery, with birthdays being drawn out of a container, just like in a bingo parlour. At the time, if your number was in the first 30%, you were going to be inducted. Period,

My birthday drew #13. Guess what. I didn't head for Canada or hide like a frightened rabbit. I took my chances, just like everybody else did. I didn't want to go and I certainly didn't agree that we should have been there. But, the draft was cancelled before I received a letter from then President Richard Nixon beginning with the words "Greetings from the President."

I wonder if younger people's views might change if living in a country that requires at least two years of compulsary military service, as in Israel.

If Canada or Mexico or Cuba started lobbing missiles into your back yard, or where your children are attending school or where your wife goes to do her grocery shopping, is your reply really going to be, "Aw, c'mon. Why can't we all just get along?)? Who do you think will be the ones to defend you and your family?
BINGO !! Those of our youngest, some of whom are going to die in horrible circumstances in the end of a tragically short life. They will be led by war mongering conservatives, and all so you and yours can lay your head down in security and peace.

Best one opens one's eyes these days. Those who would do the world harm, and who addmittedly are striving to light the fuse of Armageddon, don't care obout misinformation, bickering over political squabbles, those who run from their duty, those who are overly zealous or those who lack commitment.

The close scrutiny is misplaced, They are those who should be under the microscope. And, when they see all the deep divdes between our fellow citizens, I think it is a sexual, socialogical as well as a theological thrill.

Answer 2

I will use the first person who answered this as my example. Going by his questions and answers, he appears to have the intelligence and maturity of a 12 yr old.. ok may be 15. Now if he is really 36 that makes his IQ 42 (100*15/36). So that kind of explains your theory. Note that kids can't look at a contradictory viewpoint in the eye and still remain calm. Some kids can, those are gifted. Most kick and scream and sulk when you tell them something they don't agree with and don't like. Neocons are the same way.
Again going back to the first answerer, look at his questions. He asks rhetorical questions to promote his point of view. Even if you build an argument against it, laden with facts and logic, he will usually ignore your point and choose as best answer something which is obviously along the lines of his own thinking. Very common behavior amongst children.

However the only difference between children and these neocons is that till a certain age children are still impressionable and mostly honest (there are exceptions). Neocons are not impressionable. Even Michelangelo couldn't sculpt an idea into their brains (if they have one). And neocons are certainly not honest.

Answer 3

First off your first question was dumb you assume that all military personnel who fought in a war are "trained killers" and I assumed that you meant they would continue killing when they got home. This just goes to show that you are either a ill informed liberal or a young kid who doesn't know anything either. We had at one point over 500,000 troops in Vietnam and we had millions there over the several years the war lasted and we didn't get a crop of psycho killers uncontrollably killing on the streets. So I figure that the people fighting now will come home and adjust just fine for the most part as so many others did before them. Oh and I'm 50 and have know many who fought in Vietnam, Korea and WW2 and not one was some psycho trained killer who was a threat to society.

Answer 4

each and every cellular has DNA and it is consisted of two strands tightly woven around one yet another. the factor that forestalls the two strands from breaking aside is named a telomeric cap (this is random nucleotide sequences referred to as nonsense codons. Codon is a three series of nucleotides that codes for amino acids eg. CUU is a amino acid referred to as proline . A nonsense codon is one that doesnt code for any amino acid production) each and every time your cells divide a small series is lost there by ability of decreasing the soundness of the cellular's DNA (in layman's words). this could at last lead do maximum of Ur cells' DNA transforming into risky. and many times while a mistake happens in DNA the cellular will carry out automobile cytolysis (cellular suicide) to stay away from issues. So once you're previous maximum of ur cells telomeric caps would be low and that they are companies to die while they attempt to divide.. Whats particularly interesting approximately this thought is the result it has on evolution (because of fact this happens on the two meiotic besides as mitotic divisions. meaning that a species grows previous too till now it mutates.. yet thats a different tale)

Answer 5

The are a lot of school kids (in their 20's and 30's) here who think war is some kind of game where noone really gets hurt. Like playing with water guns and pretending to shoot someone.
