Why do people pretend to be Vietnam Vets?

Question

Like I care if you were actually there or not..

Your service, how many human beings you murdered, how many medals, ribbons, prosititutes you slept with... none of that I find impressive, i don't care. It's not that interesting anyways.

Answer 1

AMZI....what does impress you? How many women and children a suicide bomber murders? Yeah I bet that gets you hard......

Answer 2

I wasn't aware that this is a problem. I mean, what a despicable thing to do. I certainly don't agree with Erudite that ex-con's have more status. Maybe at the end of the war, when the country was so polarized, a few individuals cared more for the peace movement than the returning vets. Times have changed. We've all grown wiser. Nobody these days has anything but respect for Vietnam vets. That could be the reason some low-life's resort to lying. They're trying to bask in the reflected glow of other people's accomplishments. Sadly, such dishonesty is a common human failing. Good question!

Answer 3

Hereya go Dickweed.. You're probably to ignorant to pass the Army entry exam, or you're a Raghead. Either way I really don't care if you live or die.

"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?
Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?
And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?
Well, I don't. I don't care at all. I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.
I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia
I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat. I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.
I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.
I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.
When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured that I don't care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank that I don't care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I don't care.
And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and ---- you guessed it - - I don't care! ! ! ! !
If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your e-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!
If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button.
Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great country.
I am not deleting this, I am sending it on, but only after
I add:
--"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem."
-- Ronald Reagan

I have another quote that I would like to add AND.......
I hope you forward this such as I have.
"If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under."
also by... Ronald Reagan

Answer 5

I'm concerned with the kind of company you are keeping... You mean there are more than 1 that you know of actually claiming to be Vietnam Vet's?

Is it a gang of them or something?

Answer 6

You sound like a good Democrat.
There is a vets organization that exposes some of these people. It's against the law, if they wear medals that they are not entitled to.
Most of them were hippies and draft dodgers, like Bill Clinton.
Their lies get bigger, and they usually they become War Heroes.
I think that, like Clinton, they don't consider themselves real men.
They know that they are cowards.
But, I consider you the scum, that is even worse than these draft-dodging cowards.
