[Vision2020] Iraq's My Lai Massacre

[rvrcowboy]

Actually, Mr. Gier, I am not really all that interested in reading the
retirement letters written by you students.  I am only interested in your
obvious bias in the information you present concerning our troops.  You are
such a phony when you present yourself as a person who cares about them.
Big deal, "gave the VFW fellow $5 and thanked him for his service to our
country", how very noble of you, while you post posionous accusations on
this forum about our present soldiers, still in harms way.

You may have fooled your students into thinking you are a Christian but you
haven't fooled anyone else about it.  I said it before and I will say it
again... You are an ass.

there is someone in Lewiston to keep track of my motivations and to clarify
my intentions for me and others on this list.  This person is such a seer
that he thinks he knows what went on in my classrooms.

prepared, I gave the VFW fellow $5 and thanked him for his service to our
country.  Early on the in the debate about the war, I made it clear that
with few exceptions our troops were the best trained in the world.  It just
tried to find the letter to Daily News in which I said that, but I could not
find it in my "out" file.

in the world in countries where we have no right to be. The Johnson
administration placed U. S. troops on the losing side of a civil war in
Vietnam, and then Nixon intervened on the side of the right wingers in
Cambodia led right into the Killing Fields.

> Our fine soldiers are now in a country in which it is very clear that we
are not welcome.  I'm not sure how I would react if I find my buddies being
killed left and right by the people that we are supposed to liberate.  I
don't blame the troops, I blame the Bush administration for replaying
Vietnam in the Middle East. These are wasted lives.  Their tragic sacrifice
has made us less free and less secure.

> If my Lewiston "minder" is interested, I would like to share with him some
retirement letters my students wrote on my behalf.  It would give a
different view of what he thinks went on my classes.  My favorite memory are
the students in my philosophy of religion class who thought I was a
Christian.
