I miss dan. I wonder if he got arrested in vietNOW. Now imagine the irony in that.

Ha. Wonder if he'll do the Cu Chi Tunnels tour. Such a cheeky presentation of Vietnamese resistance forces they had there. I remember the information video they had prepped... "this is _____. He won American-Killing Award for most Americans killed in Vietnam conflict!"

I also wonder if the abundance of deformed people still suffering from the results of Agent Orange will have any impact on him at all. I still remember the feeling I had after visiting the war museum, then seeing the deformed people on the street.. America's gift that keeps on giving (as the birth defects haven't ceased, nearly 40 years later).

From reading his comments on threads, he doesn't care about anything unamerican. And it's scary to think he represents the men in blue, if he truly is a REAL cop.

So you had to bring this discussion back to me bb and my profession when the adults on here moved on....must not have left your parents basement playing on your computer the past few days evidently..
So to feed your creepy infatuation with me I will share with the group a few thoughts on my Vietnam War tours and experiences the past couple weeks. But before that I want to give RR a thanks Buddy shout and a bigger thank you to your Father for his service for our great country. The 101st airborne was essential to one of the most gruesome battles at Hamburger Hill, just read about that yesterday at the HCM city War museum.
So I just got back from the Cu Chi tunnels and yes it's very shocking stuff on many levels. War is never pretty and this one was obviously atrocious. Being here as a proud American has been challenging to say the least, but I have not experienced any hatred what so ever from the Vietnamese people, only warm smiles, awesome service, and out of this world food. The funny looks all come from the Europeans on the tours...See on these various tours I have been going on they all ask everyone to stand up on the bus starting the tour and introduce yourself and where you are from. I am not a fan of this procedure that they do for obvious reasons but it's just part of their thing and I am a guest in their country.
One thing I have found interesting is how unfairly one-sided all the war museums are here. I have been to the one in Hanoi and HCM city. USA is referred to as the Devil, savages, blood thirsty , baby killers, imperialists, to name a few off the top of my head...I mean it's supposed to be a museum not a propaganda source.. The thing that really pissed me off was the multi million $ upgrades to the HCM cCity war museum were paid for by US companies. The Canadians I have been chumming around w/ the past couple days pointed that out to me. Communist propaganda is rampant everywhere yet I have never been to a place with more enterprising people. The street markets in this country are such a trip, and you can buy and do just about anything here. At the Cu Chi war tunnels today they had a gun range where you can fire M-16's, Carbines, and even a 30 Cal village destroyer that was mounted to the back of a jeep that was actually used in the war. They charged about 4 Dollars US per round...that's right, 4 bucks a round and make you buy 10.. You should have seen all the Asian's and European's running to the line to buy their Ammo and play Rambo. It was very amusing to me. If I knew how to post video on here I would show you the silliness and how unsafe it was. We stopped at a arts and crafts stand where all the artists were all affected by Agent orange. Either they were born w/ a abnormality or developed one over the years. It was very touching for me to see that but in true Vietnamese style they all had the biggest smiles on their faces, and that was before the 50 Dollar piece of art I bought. The children in this country are the cutest and most intelligent kids I have ever been around. Very self reliant and wise. I have been duped numerous times by them during my trip with all sorts of games they play to get a few bucks out of Ya...
I got one more day here and I got to say it's been one of the most rewarding trips I have ever been on. This is truly a special place with even more special people. If any of you like putting on the backpack still and getting lost In the bizarro world, you couldn't find a better place...it ain't for everyone thou (vegetarians, crazy animal lover types, and germa phobes might have a big problem here...Get here soon cause as they say...things-a-changin....

Awesome that you are enjoying your trip! This summer was supposed to be South America but that's not happening with an infant.

Doesn't that sound familiar? Sounds like Steve Kyle to me. Even worse, Kyle was the invader, not the invaded!
"We stopped at a arts and crafts stand where all the artists were all affected by Agent orange. Either they were born w/ a abnormality or developed one over the years. It was very touching for me to see that but in true Vietnamese style they all had the biggest smiles on their faces"
So what feelings did/do you have about Kissinger's decision to use Agent Orange knowing that it was extremely hazardous to both American soldiers and Vietnamese civillians? Biological warfare is off limits to everyone but the US somehow?

Ya Rgams, I really had an incredible trip. At the end of it now sitting on a lay over at the airport in Toyko. Not ready to face cold as a witches titty weather after being in 90 degree weather the past couple week.
My feelings about agent Orange is it sucks. I wish that tactic was never used. I never defended Kissinger, I just gave support to A man I have always respected in John MCCain. It was very cool for me to see the actual jump suit McCain was wearing when he got shot down In Vietnam and sent to the Hanoi prison For 5.5 years as a POW
