Do you consider yourself a Democrat first or an American first?

69. Sorry didn't see you there you must have been REMF.

I was there in 69 and 70 Marine infantry, and at that time people were stirred up about it but that was the job of the Stars and Stripes to get soldiers pissed off. My infantry platoon which was the one I was intimately involved in to the point of considering them family, were mostly Dem"s from middle class and lower class neighborhoods, in our little bubble of a platoon the only ones that I would consider Repub's were....... well they weren't out with us they were the REMF guys that we referred to as juicers, lifers, REMF's, and a few other choice names. We also knew that they were stealing our allotment of beer/soda and other rations and selling them on the black market for their own profit. Sound familiar it's a Republican trait. That isn't all they sold to the Commies on the black market either we had our own frags, claymores and weapons used against us. So don't preach to me about I don't understand, I understand only too well. Were you in the boonies or in the rear? Makes a big difference on perspective. As to Jane on a AA gun, we were bombing the dikes, did you think they wouldn't try to shoot down our planes? Remember we were the invaders, or have you forgotten that.
