    Gunny. I agree, and every NAM vet will agree with you as well. WE did not lose that war. The politicians forced us to not really fight to win. I remember the Turner Joy and Maddox incident where LBJ insisted they were attacked. IT WAS A LIE. LBJ needed a reason to send more Americans to die...while forbidding them from actually using the RULES OF ENGAGEMENT that would allow them to win.
    As for Walter Cronkite. Today's Liberal Media is just like him in every way. THE FAKE NEWS networks need stories that BLEED, in order to LEAD with LIES.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.

    Millennials: The Violent Generation

    http://www.cbs46.com/story/30435927/...ent-generation

    http://www.latimes.com/opinion/opini...123-story.html

    I think this young generation is all but ruined. They've been pampered, they've been coddled, they've been told their special, they've been taught they're all winners, they're all beautiful and that unicorns jump over the moon shitting rainbows. So when they come face to face with something that doesn't fit in this BUBBLE they've been brain washed in, they also believe that it's their job to shut those people up by whatever means necessary, and that includes violence.

    It's a wasted generation, and when it's their turn to be in power, God help us all.

    But who is to blame? Sure, you can say the left is as they are the architects of this kinder, gentler, reason with a 2 years old society.

    Being conservative by nature and not saying anything, we have allowed it to happen. And the left has used the misuse of freedom of speech to do it.

    They are to be praised for the initial effort, IMHO. yet if there are/were no concrete punitive measures put in place to deal with the offenders--then it is empty talk.

    Lets hope they are prepared to actually enforce the new dictate if/when such action is appropriate.. -Tyr

    I think conservatives have said plenty, but when it's not conservatives that control the schools and the major media outlets, conservatives can harp all they want but it's not going to do much good. Until the schools are taken back, mainly, more brain washed little dembots are going to be turned out every year. Problem is most conservatives don't want to be teachers. For some reason leftists love this job, and the perks of being able to indoctrinate children that comes with it.

    My daughter isn't too keen on it, but it pays the bills. The VA paid for her school so she has to put in so many years or repay the VA for the education. By that time, no point in changing careers.
