![]() "Gene Storey" wrote in message news:wFFMb.20$ce2.7@okepread03... "Kevin Brooks" wrote "Gene Storey" wrote Please provide some evidence that US military officers intended to lose the war The war was lost, and officers are in charge of war. You'll have to do better than that. How did they INTEND to lose it? It was lost in 1946 when we allowed the French to decolonize. That is a ridiculous statement. http://www.lexisnexis.com/academic/2...ietnamMACV.asp Basically, if you fly a B-52 down the same route as the previous three B-52, and do it at the same altitude, and with the same waypoints, you and whoever drew-up the operation are derelict. The fact that anyone survived is pure luck, and those that died were very brave, but very wasted (much as going over the top in the great war in the face of machine guns). The way to lose a war is to suffer casualties so great, with such waste, the people back home won't want to go, and either burn their draft cards, or joined the Reserves. What claptrap. You are about one notch above that ZZBunker character in terms of having a grasp of reality. The fact that the early tactics of the B-52 raids during LBII were flawed had nothing to do with the way the war progressed. And assigning the qualities of draft resister to *all*, or even *most*, of the US citizens in the late sixties/early seventies is pure unadulterated BS. While casualties are never good, the fact is that the casualty count in Vietnam was much less than that of either WWI or WWII, and the casualty *rate* was less than that experienced in Korea (given that the duration of active combat operations in Korea was much less than that experienced in Vietnam). You need to go back to supporting the policies of Saddam and Hitler--as ridiculous as those attempts were, you were probably making more headway with them than with this nonsense. Brooks |

PLONK Al Minyard Sounds like Alvin ejaculated there?? Your single-minded fascination with the solitary sex act indicates that you are either extremely immature for your years, or are some pimply-faced teenager who recently discovered (some of) the facts of life and are literally bursting at the seams to demonstrate your new-found knowledge to any and all. Either way, Al has the right idea--the more people that kill-file your psychotic rants the more likely you'll just fade into oblivion, where you belong; and besides, blocking your posts will increase the cumulative IQ of the remaining messages tenfold.
