[Vision2020] Saundra tries to mislead matt with phoney sweetness

Yes.  One characteristic of indirect fire is civilian casualties.  However,
it must be assumed that these civilian casualties could have been reasonably
calculated then as they are now.  Use of the term "collateral damage" is
merely meant to "soften" its impact when such deaths are reported, much like
"vertical insertion" versus "air assault".

Concerning Saundra's respect for out veterans, you would have to broaden
your search to find a person of comparable strength of character when it
comes to veterans, ToeKnee.  Or was your intent in making that statement
parallel to little Johnny throwing spit-wads in class; "Hey, look how
ignorant I can be."  I mean, it's not like she accused any veterans of
disloyalty on Veterans' Day.

Please continue . . .

It is starting off as a slow Wednesday and I can use the laugh.

Matt, these folks are desperately trying to shake your good instincts. 
Saundra insists that we used the bomb against noncombatants.  The crucial 
distinction she is either unable to grasp, or unwilling to acknowledge, is 
that these civilian casualties were NOT targeted!  They were collateral 
damage in an era of imprecise warfare.  Japan's INDUSTRIAL CENTERS were 
targeted.  Her comparison of our actions then to the bombing of the trade 
centers, a target with NO MILITARY APPLICATION, is the genuine obscenity 
here, and I submit she should hang her head in shame for such an inane and 
shameful statement.

She continues that we were "itching" to blow these civilians to bits just to

strut our stuff.  I assume that she will hang her head and slink off the 
next time she passes a veteran such as yourself, who she has so cavalierly 
disdained as a callous killer.

This pinhead then goes on to state, with breathtaking arrogance, that we 
interned Japanese Americans out of racism rather than a legitimate concern 
for national security!

Make no mistake Matt, these libs have NO RESPECT for you.  They view you as 
an ignorant dupe to be conned.  And they owe you, as a vet, an apology.

But don't hold your breath.
