They say you are only young once. They were right. But if you lived your life like me you are forever young. Or as my wife points out “you have been immature all of your life and you will never change.” She is so right.

In Vietnam I lived everyday as if it were my last, full well knowing that it could be.

In college, I was more comfortable holding a glass of scotch than a book. I loathed the university life and I detested the “anti-war” scum that were pervasive on campus. Note: If the tea party and town hall protesters today are “un-American “ according to Congresswoman Pelosi in her USA Today OP/ED piece, or Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's statement that the town hall protesters are “evil mongers” What the hell were the anti-war protestors in 1970? The ones that burned a Marine Corps classroom at Harvard and later they set fire to the ROTCBuilding. Or how about the hundreds of ant-war protesters that stormed the Air Force ROTC office in Buffalo, burning their books and files. Or the protestors that stood in front of the ROTCBuilding in Buffalo yelling “Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh, the NLF is gonna win”, while burning a US flag. In 1970 anti-war protestors burned offices and destroyed property and threatened ROTC students at Maryland, Buffalo, and UC Berkeley. Harvard, Ohio State, Michigan State, Washington, Yale, Wisconsin, Kent State to name a few. There was a recruiter killed in Oakland. A student died at Kent State. The Weather Underground led by President Obama’s ‘acquaintance’ Bill Ayers who said they should have done more (even after his girlfriend was killed by a bomb they were making). Ayers is an arrogant punk and has no balls. Ayers is a coward. He could only operate from the dark and let his women take more risks and die in his place (what an a.s.s....). There are many Vietnam-era Veterans stationed at Fort Dix in 1970 that travel to Dwight Illinois just to p.i.s.s.... on a grave. (Sorry-I didn't mean to offend, I'm just an old grunt. You should have heard the language I used when I got back from Nam).
