BUFDRVR:

You are being too conservative with your reply. I think your
characterization is shared by many- Art has 2 main worldviews:

1) "I was there when the U.S. Made Europe Safe For Socialism therefore I Am
An Expert In Everything"

and

2) "If You Weren't There You Have No Right To An Opinion On Anything"

The sad thing is, many of his generation are not as greedy, foolish, nor
self centered as he is. He doesn't realize just how irrational and self
absorbed he is. Johari Window strikes again. Guess that comes with a
draft. You certainly pick up the Good, Bad, adn Ugly in a draft . . .

And who have I ever called a coward?

To summerize: everyone who never participated in the European Theater

from
1943-1945.


You couldn't be more vague, non- commital and evasive even if your life
depended on it. I hope you fly better than you attack..


Uhh, that wasn't an attack...it was a slight exaggeration of my perception

of
your attitude. You have called *many* people cowards on this group, both

by
generalization and personally.

The malady is common amoung those who have trouble forgiving the people they
killed. First the victim of the malady must let them be human. My father
got over WWII when Reagan walked through that SS graveyard. Those men he
had killed were "good soldiers" and they had no more choice in doing or
dieing than he did. My brother has pictures of the families of the people
he killed. (NVA) He got over Vietnam rapidly.
