SEVERE RANT!
I was born in 1976, about 2 years after the war ended. My father served in the Air Force and was a Staff Sergeant and Load master on a C-130 Hercules. He was shot down twice and captured once. He escaped by killing a guard with his bare hands (ripped his throat out, way before that faggot-ass Patrick Swayze did the same in Roadhouse). Anyway, that is my story on how i got introduced to that war, now on to better things.
I just watched a great special about a small amount of time during the Vietnam war. I wont get into it, but i saw equally all sides projected. The Vietnam war, has always been seen as the beginning of the saddest days of the United States. However, i am forced to wonder, has it always been like that? i mean really, we didn't have detailed media coverage extensively, ever, until that war.
Now, i hate the media terribly, that's why i love the internet, this is US. But did the media, in Vietnam, do it's job by making us think about our history and who wrote it? I mean, the proof of what was happening, from all sides, was there, yet people decide to hide it and deny that the film we see is truth. That is, until they get to be Robert Macnamaras age and confess all.
Bottom line? And purpose of this thread? I'm not quite sure right now. I mean, i believe in loving where i live, but i do not believe in how we got here. But, i do believe in liberation, which seems to be what our government is doing. But what about the way we are doing it?
Look at it like this; We all claim to have big dicks and tasty pussies, and we go into the scene in front of our peers acting like that, whether we do or not, and if we score, the result is good for at least one of us, and the one it is less good for still got some.
What was the end result of Vietnam, at least to me? it was that the final test of free speech was victorious. EVERYONE had and still does have their say. The idiots as well as the intelligent are allowed to proliferate. Was this the intention of the Founding Fathers? Probably not, but we are able to see, and enjoy the results, at least until corporations take over the internet. AT&T already owns Yahoo!

Sadly, very sadly, the Vietnam War was not the final test of free speech. It was a major one, and free speech prevailed, but there can be no final victory for free speech. It continues to be even more threatened today, with the Patriot Act and NSA wiretapping.

Free speech? Thats bs, there is no free speech even in your US. How come I'm not allowed to express my opinion about other races and people and stuff. I have so much to say as well as most latvians here. But noo, damn EU with their damn human right stuff. I can't even express my hatred to communists who drive into Latvia while USSR were here. While when I want to put some flowers on my monument of liberty in honor of our fathers who drive USSR out of my homeland, those damn communists stand in my way screaming "Fascists won't come through"... And we are violating their human rights when we try to commemorate our heros? Death to all of them..
Freedom of speech my ass...

You can say what you want that is racist in the US and it is totally legal. The Nazi Party in America legally demonstrated. It's only when you take certain actions or advocate violence that it becomes illegal.

Actually, you're allowed to speak what you want as long as it doesn't infrindge other people's rights.

And of course the things I have to say always do that. So much for the freedom of speech.
