One guy is this black american (very pro-black) who fought in Vietnam. This other guy - didn't say he fought in Vietnam, but it looked like he did* - who has a son fighting in Iraq.
Man the views they had and the discussions they had till 4:30 in the morning was quite impressive. Damn. Interesting stuff.
End of the night, I bid the black dood good night, and the white dood I told him I hoped his son would return safely from Iraq.

For me, it was hearing about Vietnam that was more interesting because, for those that don't know, my mom and her family were in Saigon (mom was born there), and had to leave because the north were winning. Remember: I had no idea Saigon was called Ho Chi Min city till high school since to this day, many South Vietnamese that had to escape don't refer to Saigon by the new name.

Anwyhoooo... I shall tell you guys more when I'm awake tomorrow and not too buzzing. I'm not drunk either, but still, sorta buzzing and tired to talk. It's five in the morning here in HK. Razz

Just to explain my history to those that don't know me as well:
My mom and her siblings, along with her mom left Saigon for India when news of the war was getting worse. My granddad left Saigon when things got really bad and was out of contact for nearly nine months. He had to travel by boat and finally got to India when he finally got in touch with my family. The stories my granddad was interesting to say the least. He was friends with a lot of American soldiers.

If anyone wonders why I'm anti-war, maybe this family history should sorta explain why. I hope. Smile

Night all!

I don't think being anti-war needs an explanation.

I'd like to hear more about what those guys were talking about.

I don't think anyone here or anywhere is pro-war, but rather realizes that force is unfortunately necessary when talk fails. Please take that as a generic statement; I have no intention of starting another OSY Political Thread of Doom. Wink

War, hmm... what is it good for?

It appears absolutely nothing.

Now if there was only a song that could express this sentiment.

There's a guy where I work, about 5'5", white hair, and glasses.

Tunnel rat. Carried a .45 (with one clip!) through the tunnels to kill anything that moved. Speaks fluent Vietnamese. Saw Hamburger Hill. Was there at the fall, one of the first ones there.

He has a picture of a chopper on his desk floating and letting down the rope. He used a labelmaker to put "Just another day at the office" across the bottom of it.

Definitely carts his brass jewels around using a wheelbarrow the size of Greenland.

Sorry for not getting back sooner, but I was struggling with wether I should reply in this thread or not. I did start it, but the responses reflect the fear of political debates on OSY. People have become to sensitive and waaaayyy to politically correct and polite to each other.
So in respect to the views of the two guys I met - since I can't obviously defend them - I won't post them.

Now that you've talked about them so much, you might as well post their ideas.
