(10,602 posts)Fortunately I never had to use my weapon in Vietnam. I spent only a short time in the field. Yet I was in touch with people I knew and had friends out there. You cannot have a sense of pity for the enemy you are facing. They will have none for you. They are vicious and mean.
For example. I was talking to an experienced Sgt one day and he was telling me that they have captured some VC one day during a fierce firefight. A couple of them were women. He had a green troop who was feeling a lot of pity for these prisoners and was acting too sympathetic. He took that kid aside and said to him. "I know that you are feeling sorry for these prisoners, but I war you, even though they are young women, if they ever get the drop on you they will cut your throat without a thought".
No I have not an ounce of pity. They have proved to be the enemy of the vulnerable. If they get their way on Medicare many senior will go bankrupt and die. That is because Mittwit supports turning Medicare into a coupon program for everyone not just the ones under 55. But they won't say that until the get power.
