Guys, I can certainly identify with the issues being discussed, but I have to say that there is a marked difference between how the returning Viet Nam vets were treated by the public and how they were dissed in the press. I still contend that the current slight change, while appreciated, is little more than a wrinkly in the fabric of modern journalism. Most journalist, are by nature, of the more liberal bent and as such, are generally opposed to any armed and/or violent actions. The one thing that most of them fail to realize is that no one ever secured and held a freedom with a typewriter. It was done with swords, muskets, flintlocks, falling blocks, rolling blocks, bolt actions, lever actions, semi-automatics and full automatics. I don't recall ever seeing a battle field strewn with type writer ribbon. Please, don't misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm just holding out for more proof that what we're seeing is real.
