Ali got bomayed.
Do you believe we should have stood up to Soviet expansion anywhere?Sudden Sam wrote:I feel terrible for the families who lost loved ones...whether they were killed, maimed, or forever fucked in the head by Nam.
But Ali had the balls to tell the powers that be to go to hell. At the time I didn't appreciate it, but time has had the effect of opening my eyes to the bullshit that was Viet Nam. I respect the heck out of him for saying hell no, I ain't fighting your crock of a war.
I have nothing but respect for those who went and did what they were compelled to do by the American government, but, at the same time, I can respect a man who stood up to those bastards and said no.

And the 40 plus year domination of the eastern Euros was imaginary as well then?Goober McTuber wrote:Rack you for coming around. I did appreciate it at the time.
