I enlisted in the "ALL VOLUNTEER" army and did basic at Ft. Polk, Louisiana two weeks after graduating high school in 1974. I was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky.
Vietnam was winding down and troops were being brought home. I had the honor of serving along side many "heroes" that did go through the hell of Vietnam.
I've heard, first hand, how bad things were for our soldiers there. But, what saddens me till today, is the fact that they came home to be shamed by young idiots who would rather get high and protest. These "heroes" were not brought back in groups with parades, tv coverage and pats on the backs...they came home one at a time and had to endure an ungrateful majority. The only love they got was from direct family members!
I've seen soldiers wear wigs and western boots to hide the fact that they were indeed soldiers, so they wouldn't be subject to ridicule from the locals. This was carryover from the negative rhetoric that real fighting men were subject to, all because of Vietnam!
If you see an older veteran, proudly wearing his Vietnam Veteran cap, give him a warm handshake and a firm, "thank you for your service". Believe me, it means a lot to them.

Tell me, what did you find noble about the Vietnam War?

The blue collar Americans who were drafted and went to fight in a war that their country deemed important. They were heroes in my mind! Way different than the cowardly draft dodgers and the hippies who took off to Canada.
Vietnam vets are the forgotten heroes. I've had the honor of serving beside many of them in the 101st Airborne Division and it saddens me that they were so shunned by the war critics and college students that protested regularly, but spit on the soldiers for going.

Karma is coming to those lying bastards and bitches who continuously played the American people. And the Trump-hating news pundants on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC and MSNBC should all find a dark fate for their roles in the coverup as well!

PLEASE, BETH....FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND THE GOOD OF LSU, SUCK IT UP AND RESIGN!

YOU ARE NOT AN ELITE COACH...YOU ARE MEDIOCRE AT BEST! WE WANT TO MOVE TO THE TOP OF THE PACK BUT YOU ARE KEEPING US IN THE MIDDLE.

GEAUX, BETH TORRINO, GEAUX...ANYWHERE BUT HERE! :nana:

I'd rather be "Beth-less" for the next few years in softball. This woman is the Nicki Fargas of Softball for LSU. We should move on.....she can't recruit the caliber of players needed to consistantly win.

She ain't what we thought she would be...maybe she hid her liberalism well.
Like James "the old mouth from the south" Carville, Donna Brazille and Mitch "the bitch" Landrieu, she's an embarassment to Louisiana.

Yeah...when they get cold, they stay cold. It's like the hitters all go into this collective slump. Where's that elite player who everyone knows will get that hit when they need it?

I guess now, they're stupid son will try to charge a prison to visit his mom and dad. This is truly a screwed up family!

Same thing year after year....Beth needs to go! We need fresh blood in the softball system. Beth gets shown up big time by many other coaches and teams.

I know many Democrats suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome or TDS,
but wouldn't it be great if one of the drug companies could create a vaccine for it!

I don't know if all democrats have caught the STUPID! I know a few personally and believe me, they won't do well for the next 3 years.

Maybe they should put a bullet to their head if they are that miserable over a president who only means to make our country better!
