You want an insult? Think Walter Mitty

^^Racial tensions existed all right, the Military did all it could to make everyone equal,but there’s always racists, on all sides of the fence.
For me, a white boy from Minnesota it was my first experience with blacks, some were decent some pricks. besides all that dap stuff they wore a black braided wrist band, kind of a black power salute bull.
I don’t know who wrote that book, but rebel flags or swastika weren't on military vehicles 69-71 and I doubt they ever were, as a driver you were responsible for that vehicle, you checked it out of a motor pool, signed for a day or maneuvers, it was actually assigned to your company making the company commander ultimately responsible for that vehicle. you may have had it long-term but eventually you checked back into the motor pool, it was inspected and serviced, that motor pool sergeant could just as easily be black as white, either way he’s not going to look kindly on you disfiguring government property.
helicopters had some art work on them, usually a unit designation, the pilots name that kind of stuff.
there’s always someone willing to risk their stripes to break the rules, and believe me the Military is all about rules..

QUOTE ^^ Expat, I honestly don't think you served in Veitnam, I think you ended up with some deferment or jumped ship and ran off to Canada. I have and have had many friends that served in Veitnam and these guys make you sound like some little wannabe. If you did go over there I'm betting you were "in the rear with the gear". What a POS
I realize there's a lot of jabs back and forth on the forum, but I'm surprised to read this one. I'm sure you had plenty of friends who agree with the Republican party the same way you do, you say some are veterans, and I don't doubt you. But to sit there and lecture a Vietnam vet on the war, and then claim he wasn't there (but if he was he didn't fight hard enough in your opinion), that's despicable. 
QUOTE ^^ it was'nt meant to be an insult
Oh, of course not. I mean, who would consider you attacking his service as insulting? 
It's bad enough when you post photos of Jane Fonda and compare him to her, but now you add a few more insults just because he doesn't share your ideology?
Back to topic, I wouldn't put that much faith in what you've read and photos saved from the internet. Here's one of the confederate flag on the moon.

Why weren't you clowns bitchin when the Marines made it a bar to enlistment? Everyone knows the flag is the Klan flag/Virginia battle flag and not the C.S.A. flag.

Do you know for sure he's a vet?
I never really get into politics with my friends, it's not polite. I consider this site to be the place for that. As far as my remarks being an insult, I offered that as an opinion and in my opinion the way this clown's acts are disgraceful and nothing like the Vietnam vets I've had the privilege of knowing over the years.
Excuse me if I get a little touchy about this but I've buried three of these amazing people over the last 4 years, one to a sudden heart attack, two to fu#king cancer. These were gentleman and courageous human beings,not like the POS we're referring to.

If the confederate flag is going to be banned, since the war was over so many years ago, I think maybe the parades and such for the ending of slavery should also end. Let's move on, nothing to see here folks. I cannot recall knowing a slave owner. Maybe we had better quit celebrating the 4th. of July, after all, there are a lot of English ancestry that live here.

Nope,
One grunt,
One supply officer,
One swift boat
And if you've been around these vets you know "war stories" are pretty hard for them.
