@Baldimo,
Hey Baldy, I was ant-war, protested the war before, during and after my enlistment and honorable discharge. I never saw any soldier or sailor EVER spit on or assaulted. I was at Kent State and I saw American soldiers shoot US citizens who weren't even at the protests. I joined the Navy because I wanted to shut up the pro war fucks who wouldn't listen to non vets. The Navy had a large ant-war segment and we were VERY active.
What Izzy talks about when he discusses the aid American citizens gave to IRA and especially the PIRA is very important because Rep Peter King (for example) raised all sorts of money to NORAID which was funneled to buy arms and explosives that were used to kill British citizens in terror operation in UK, including London.
Sometimes you really need to uncouple your brain from your ass.
