I guess, Cat, I'm the one to blame for injecting thoughts about a war of so long ago that turned a great discussion about the wonders & dreams of "Time Travel" (I'm All For It...!!!) into something as miserable and boring as politics and/or philosophy..... My apology to all
With that all aside, though, seems to me that you are quite the pessimist. Though I remain skeptical about your story concerning a cousin who it appears had spent morning, noon & night hunting down every child, woman and dog in Southeast Asia to satisfy his homicidal lust to kill..... (I spent over a year as an infantryman of the 3rd Marines within the rice-paddies, villages & mountains of Vietnam, and it seems to me that the only villagers we ever buried, whether they be man, woman, child or pet, were victims of both the Viet Cong or NVA Regulars... slaughtered, simply because they would'nt turn over their rice harvest to a bunch of communist ass-holes...), people like yourself amaze me and, not meant to offend, come across as a bit pathetic.
As far as Vietnam goes, I think you've taken your History Lessons from the likes of a few "Dip-Shits" with names like Frances Ford Coppola & Oliver Stone. Open up a book once in awhile... It helps
Most, but probably all, of us agree that war is nothing less than bad stinkin' news, but can you imagine what would become of American Society if our leaders suddenly decided to ban our entire military complex...??? You know.... Goodbye to the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines & Coast Guard...??? I mean, "Really, Really, Think About It...!!!"
And you could also say Goodbye to those "Freedoms" of which you falsely seem to think don't exist..... They do, pal, and you'll sure as hell miss 'em if they're takin' away...!
How about bygones be bygones, Cat, and we can allow this discussion to return to the scientific mode of "Time Travel"..... And, perhaps, keep our sense of humor intact
TIME TRAVEL FOREVER...!!!
