OK, how about a quote from a guy who realized the power of patriotism a lot better than some of you dupes.
Quote:
Originally said by Hermann Goering at the Nuremberg trials
Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

I wanted to go kick some a$$. The calmer of the group said... "No, they were mentally abused as children by their liberal parents. It's not their fault they believe that stuff."
Has always worked for me.

LOL, after a story like that I got to start wondering if you are a 1st class bull$hitter like fint. At least you could have spiced it up by claiming to have been spit on by hanoi jane while spending time in a north vietnamese prison. If that story is true then it guess it does not say much for your ability to stand up for yourself. Then again you were just a pilot. Leave it to the people who are experts in hand to hand combat to be able to defend themselves again dangerous tomato and egg wielding pacifists.
