it's red X now. I wanted to see what got everybody worked up.



it was a dead viet cong guerilla with a picture of his wife/girlfriend and a bag of spilled 7.62x39 bullets.

There is an interview in one of the Band of Brothers DVD's where the guy from Virginia (the one who made it through the war in Europe without earning a purple heart) said "You know I've thought about that alot, and me and that other fella may have been real good friends. He may have liked to hunt and fish. But I had a job to do and so did he. But I think we could have been good friends."



Those damn America hating, liberal education system indoctrinated WWII vets. The nerve to talk like that.

Take you friend, DoneBeenEatinPoo and get the hell out of here.

Showing me a dead soldier carrying a bag of 7.62X39 ammo intended to kill Americans is no way to engender sympathy or sadness in me.  What you have done is make me pissed off at you, personally, though that was probably not your intended goal.

Want to talk Viet Nam war sadness?  

Think of all the Americans killed trying to prop up a regime which did not have the back bone to fight for themselves.  

Think Viet Nam War Memorial and the names of the valiant young people thereon.

Being able to empathize with common grunts of countries we have fought and having national pride are mutually exclusive?

How are these guys that much different than a typical American kid fighting in the Vietnam war?

How about WWII? How was German soldier all that different from an American soldier?



Are you serious?  



It's something called empathy which clearly none of you posess. Look we're not supporting their cause, they were fighting for their beliefs and we were fighting for ours. We won (in the terms of them being killed) but I would still feel bad about killing somebody. Anyone who gloats or is happy about the death of another human is fucked in the head.

That picture pisses me off because of the waste of my tax dollars documented there.  Bullets cost money and a bayoneting would have been free.  The soldier already had the bayonet anyway, should have used it.  Money doesn't grow on trees you know.

Damn right its posed. Look at the angle of the shot, personal efects displayed, ect. Think it looks bad? You ought to smell it. Feel it. Have the flies blow up in your nostrils when you roll them over. Hear them fart when when their stomach swells after crock potting all day in 100 deg sun, hear them go oomph when you put them on a stretcher. Feel the skin slide off when you grab them and have maggotts drop down your shirt. I'm not talking about the dead VC, but young Americans who were your buddies killed by little MFers like the one lying there. Ever have to climb a tree to get someone's guts down? Do that then telll me you feel sorry for them.

Quoted:
I sense much anger in this thread...

Personally, I think it is sad that people (mostly young men) die in wars. This dead VC was probably not that different from the American that killed him, or the Americans he killed when he was alive. He was just doing the job he was sent to do, and so was the American that killed him.

There is an interview in one of the Band of Brothers DVD's where the guy from Virginia (the one who made it through the war in Europe without earning a purple heart) said "You know I've thought about that alot, and me and that other fella may have been real good friends. He may have liked to hunt and fish. But I had a job to do and so did he. But I think we could have been good friends."

You can sympathize with the poor bastard on the other side so long as you don't let it get in the way of toppling the guys that put him there. It's not your fault he got drafted and is sitting in a foxhole some hundreds of yards away. But that doesn't mean you're obligated to roll over and let them steamroll you.

It's a complex state. Dealing with these complexities is what makes us human. If I may make a literary allusion(well, movie, don't have my book handy ATM)


"Enemy? His sense of duty was no less than yours, I take it. I wonder what his name is; where he came from; and if he was really evil at heart. What lies or threats lead him on this long march from home, and whether he would rather have stayed there, in peace. War will make corpses of us all"

You know what, I will never cheer for the death of some one. If some one killed some one close to me and I had the op to take revenge I would have it. However I would never dance around like a school girl after killing the person. Death isn't something that should be taken lightly and should be given the respect it is due.

We honor our dead. We also let our enemies' loved ones, bury and honor theirs.
