Principles: Once You Lose Them, You Never Get 'em Back

Les Aspen, Nancy Pelosi, and Jack Murtha are all the same. Les refused backup for the troops (remember Black Hawk Down, when 19 young men died?). If Nancy and Jack have their way, a lot of young men will die due to not getting backup help that they need. When I saw and heard Nancy in Iraq this week, I nearly vomited. Sure they will support our troops - just like these same types of people did during Vietnam. A lot of children had no fathers after Vietnam because of these jerks, and young women became widows.

These same people would have preferred President Truman to not drop the bombs, but instead, have most of those horrible military men die from being used as targets by the loving Japanese people. They, now, are even making movies about these wonderful people. I had a friend, now dead, that was a prisoner of Japan during the Bataan Death March. His natural hatred became my hatred. I would like someone to tell me if the Japanese ever paid reparations to the Korean, Chinese, Filipino, and Burmese women used by the Japanese army as sex slaves for their military jackals. From what I understand, most were killed as the Japs retreated. I don't believe they ever paid reparations for using U.S. prisoners as slaves in their war effort. Also, I don't believe they ever paid reparations to any country that they raped, ravaged, and destroyed. I don't doubt that they are as good an ally today as are those countries we helped to liberate - our good friends the French, English, Dutch, Polish, Czechs, and others - even our erstwhile enemies... now friends, the Germans and Italians. Our young men gave their life's blood to liberate them, and now they're attitude is "the United States is EVIL", unless they see what we can do for them today.
