Your wrong. 1968 was not this bad and neither were parts of the 80’s.
Those of us who lived through both know this for a fact.

You’re.

I didn’t have to live through the Black Plague to know how bad it was.

You guys didn’t live in commie countries and yet you think it’s being implemented here

Etc

I suppose you agree with Biden that the new election law in Georgia is “Jim Crow on steroids” too.

@PeterGriffin

The security position of the Capitol, and the conspiracy theories about why they were still up look especially reckless right about now.

Chances are that if the security in DC was at pre Jan 6 level that this incident would not have occurred.

@Oldandtired

Sorry your wrong

In this case, you disagree with my opinion as I with yours.

I lived both years as did you.

Different life experiences counts for the difference.

Noah Green, a former college football player and Nation of Islam adherent, was named as the knife-wielding, now-deceased suspect who rammed a car into a U.S. Capitol barricade, exiting with a knife and killing one Capitol police officer while injuring another.

Noah Green: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

A Muslim black-nationalist does not fit the media narrative. Expect motives to remain a mystery.

Muslim,
it was terrorism.

isn’t that how Fox news works?

Did you hear that on Fox, or are you making things up again?

The left wing media will drop this like a hot potato now since it’s really one of their guys.

They do have an alternative modus operandi though.

@GWH

Don’t worry, it will probably come out that this was a crazy lib and the left won’t care anymore.

At that point it will be local news.

Classy.

We need to come together…everyday but especially when bad things happen.

Unfortunately these things tend to eventually divide us more than unite.

Indeed.

We can do better.

Your wrong. 1968 was not this bad

1967 and 1968 were incredibly bad.

Both MLK and RFK were assassinated in '68. We were sending boys to die in Vietnam, by force. That’s pretty bad.

@altair1013

There was no effort in the U.S. by congress, the president and the woke crowd to totally wipe out our history and re-make our country.

Why are you bringing up the debacle of the the compromise of ending reconstruction?

@FreeAndClear

Her too. The “religious” left is just as bad

Extremists on both sides are bad.

The men sent to Vietnam combat units were disproportionately black. Black men. You can call them boys because you are a lefty. I don’t.

Senate, House, and President… Democrats.

Not surprising. But as always, lefties see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil about Democrat governments. Predictable.

Actually they weren’t. 67% of the soldiers who served in Vietnam were also not “sent” - they were volunteers.

Notice I didn’t say “sent to Vietnam” . I said “combat”. Twenty some percent of those who were in combat were African American… at least according to wiki pedia. Maybe you have better, more accurate stats though.

Military history of African Americans in the Vietnam War

“African American troops were more likely to be assigned to combat units: 23% of such troops in Vietnam were African Americans.[3] In some airborne units African Americans composed 45-60% of troops.[5]”

But yes… they disproportionately re-uped too.

@Oldandtired

Seems like your fell for all the false stories.
Than you try to tell people who lived during those times what it was really like. How silly.
Good job being the spelling police tell me just how old your are.

You didn’t live through a lot of history.

So silly.

This isnt an age contest.

Being in what your teens or twenties in 68 somehow makes you an expert. Pfft

The spelling police was btw because of what you said. Don’t call people wrong … wrongly won’t get called out. You made an error in this post too but i am not pointing it out.

Airborne units were and are volunteer.

That article is not good.

You can volunteer but you still have to complete jump school. LOL
