How Democrats dishonor our soldiers & police
It’s hard to believe Democrats disrespect those who deserve our respect. Police officers and soldiers put their lives on the line for us every single day, yet Democrats make it their life’s work to make them look like racist, murdering pigs.
One line from the movie “Platoon”:
“I figured, why should just the poor kids go off to war and the rich kids always get away with it.”
That’s just one line. The whole movie is filled with garbage about how poor kids were sent to their death while rich kids just went to college and avoided combat.
Common belief is that most Vietnam veterans were drafted.
Fact: 2/3 of the men who served in Vietnam were volunteers.
In the movie, a black man, responding to the previous statement from the rich boy, says, as he’s lighting a joint:
“Shit. You got to be rich in the first place to think like that. Everybody know, the poor always being fucked over by the rich, always have, always will.”
More truth
Common belief is that a disproportionate number of blacks were killed in the Vietnam War.
Fact: 86% of the men who died in Vietnam were Caucasians, 12.5% were black, and 1.2% were other races.
Democrats make it seem as if we went through the ghettos and plucked poor black people of the streets to be used as cannon fodder.
Common belief is that the war was fought largely by the poor and uneducated.
Fact: Servicemen who went to Vietnam from well-to-do areas had a slightly elevated risk of dying because they were more likely to be pilots or infantry officers. Vietnam Veterans were the best-educated forces our nation had ever sent into combat. 79% had a high school education or better.
The movie portrays our military as just being just a bunch of stoned, drunk idiots. They also show our soldiers going through villages beating up, screaming at and killing innocent Vietnamese civilians, including a scene where a woman is shot in the head, with her child screaming and crying afterward.
Yes, our anti-military Democrats can bring up My Lai. not only was the action by Lieutenant Calley illegal, he was found guilty of war crimes and sentenced. My Lai was the exception, not the rule.
To add insult to injury, to this day, Democrats like to say we lost the war in Vietnam.
The common belief that the United States lost the war in Vietnam.
Fact: The American military was not defeated in Vietnam. The American military did not lose a battle of any consequence.
From a military standpoint, it was almost an unprecedented performance.
General Westmoreland quoting Douglas Pike (a professor at the University of California, Berkeley), a major military defeat for the VC and NVA.
The United States Did Not Lose The War In Vietnam; The South Vietnamese did after the U.S. Congress cut off funding. The South Vietnamese ran out of fuel, ammunition and other supplies because of a lack of support from Congress, while the North Vietnamese were very well supplied by China and the Soviet Union.
Anti-war Democrats did their best, and succeeded in turning American against the war in Vietnam. After we pulled out, thanks to the Democrats, MILLIONS of Cambodians & Vietnamese were slaughtered.
My argument isn’t about whether or not we should’ve been in Vietnam. as a matter of fact, Democrats put us into that war, and whining Democrats to this day, blaming it on Richard Nixon!
Democrats portray police officers and American soldiers as murderers looking for victims, & the anti-American news media and Hollywood support their accusations.
