Gordon Duff made perhaps the stupidest comment on the internet made by any veteran ever. First of all let’s look again at who is talking. According to his records<\/a>, Duff reported to basic training, or boot camp, or whatever you Marines call it, on February 28, 1969, on August 22, 1970 he was in Fort Living Room waiting for someone to invent cable TV. 18 months of military service. Of that time, he was in Vietnam August 5, 1969 until August 5, 1970. Out of those twelve months he spent from August 5, 1969 until Christmas day as a rifleman – the rest was spent as a gopher in the S-3 shop. I’m not disparaging his service – majors need someone to fetch their coffee and fluff their pillow, too.<\/p>\n

But you’ll see where I’m going when you read his idiot comment;<\/p>\n

    Bobby,
    \nRather than \u201cliberal\u201d I would point out we were better educated, more independent, and fought a brutal war with less \u201cdown time\u201d than any American army since the Revolutionary War.
    \ng<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Duff spent 18 months in the Marines. There were Marines in the Pacific that were there on Dec. 7th, 1941 and didn’t see home until after August 1945. Now unless the Revolutionary War was fought after the Second World War, his math might be off a bit. The same comparison could be made for soldiers in the Civil War who marched off to war in 1861 and didn’t get home until the summer 1865 – that’s longer than a year, too – but I didn’t need to tell you that, because you’re better at math than Duff.<\/p>\n

    And I have to tell you, candidly, that list of awards on Duff’s FOIA is REAL light for a TOC Rat. Battalion pogues usually get medals for an especially good job of tightening tent ropes on the officers’ toilet. Couldn’t get the hang of that, Gordon?<\/p>\n

    Those of you who know me know that I highly respect Vietnam veterans, that on countless occasions I’ve credited the training I got from some of the toughest and smartest warriors whoever wore the uniform in Vietnam for my survival and the survival of my soldiers. And I’m pretty sure that most Vietnam vets would credit WWII and Korean War veterans for their success and return home.<\/p>\n

    No, Duff, you’re a fucking Liberal, you aren’t tougher or smarter than anyone, maybe that mouse you keep in your pocket…but that’s it. That’s your whole problem, dipshit. We’re all veterans no matter how or why we served, or how long, or what our jobs were. I don’t think there’s more than one or two real veterans I’d throat punch, but you just joined that list Gordo.<\/p>\n

    And yeah, the VFW disrespected Vietnam veterans by disallowing them in the organization. But, your generation taught them a lesson…they came to my door and offered to pay half of my life membership dues if I’d join. So be a fucking man for a change and get over it – you limp-wristed pussyboy.<\/p>\n

    Next time you want to measure dicks, go measure them with Code Pink, you might<\/em> come out ahead.<\/p>\n
