<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nThe New York Times reports that those stank-ass hippies from the 60s and 70s are worried that the Pentagon might get the opportunity to tell the story of the Vietnam War without their stank-ass filter. Never mind that Tom Hayden, Daniel Ellsberg and the rest of that crowd have had their say in every classroom since, and they’re losing their grip on public opinion these days. It seems that the Pentagon, now run by a veteran of that war, is planning a 50th anniversary commemoration of the Vietnam War, and the hippies feel left out according to the New York Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n Leading Vietnam historians complain that it focuses on dozens of medal-winning soldiers while giving scant mention to mistakes by generals and the years of violent protests and anguished debate at home.<\/p>\n The website\u2019s \u201cinteractive timeline\u201d omits the Fulbright hearings in the Senate, where in 1971 a disaffected young Vietnam veteran named John Kerry \u2014 now President Obama\u2019s secretary of state \u2014 asked, \u201cHow do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?\u201d In one early iteration, the website referred to the 1968 My Lai massacre, in which American troops killed hundreds of Vietnamese civilians, as the My Lai Incident.<\/p>\n The glossy view of history has now prompted more than 500 scholars, veterans and activists \u2014 including the civil rights leader Julian Bond; Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the top-secret Pentagon Papers; Lawrence J. Korb, a former assistant secretary of defense under President Ronald Reagan; and Peter Yarrow of the folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary \u2014 to join Mr. Hayden in demanding the ability to correct the Pentagon\u2019s version of history and a place for the old antiwar activists in the anniversary events.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Imagine how horrible that would be – an actual examination of the job that Americans did, the war they fought, without a mention of the stank-ass hippies. Without a mention of John Kerry and the courageous Vietnam Veterans Against the War and their mindless bullshit lies about the war. Yeah, one of them admitted to me that he lied at Winter Soldier I so he could get some hairy-legged hippie chick trim.<\/p>\n But in antiwar and peace advocacy circles, unease has been percolating for some time. Veterans for Peace, an antiwar group based in St. Louis that includes many Vietnam veterans, has been talking since Mr. Obama\u2019s speech about an \u201calternative commemoration,\u201d said its executive director, Michael McPhearson.<\/p>\n Mr. McPhearson was unaware of the Hayden petition. \u201cOne of the biggest concerns for us,\u201d he said, \u201cis that if a full narrative is not remembered, the government will use the narrative it creates to continue to conduct wars around the world \u2014 as a propaganda tool.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yeah, most of the “Veterans for Peace” are not Vietnam veterans. Michael McPhearson, VFP’s Executive Director was an artillery officer during Desert Storm. We’ve exposed many of the members of the Veterans for Peace as frauds – so yeah, they should definitely be part of this exercise. Folks like Ward Reilly <\/a>, Doug Zachary<\/a>, Hal Muskat<\/a>, and Jim Goodnow<\/a>, you know, phony Vietnam veterans all, yet all members of VFP and VVAW, all liars, but they should have input at a commemoration for the sacrifice of Americans at a war they never attended.<\/p>\n The effort is also something of a reunion for the group. After scanning the list of signatories, Mr. Ellsberg, 83, exclaimed, \u201cGod, I\u2019m glad they\u2019re all alive!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Alive, unlike many of the troops who lost their lives in Vietnam while the stank-ass hippies did their best to get them killed and then spat at the survivors when they returned.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t separate this effort to justify the terrible wars of 50 years ago from the terrible wars of today,\u201d said Phyllis Bennis, a Middle East expert who has known Mr. Hayden since the early 1970s. \u201cWhen I saw this, I thought immediately, \u2018We\u2019ve got to stop this.\u2019 \u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yeah, Americans might actually experience something positive about the people who served during Vietnam without the distortions from the stank ass hippies. Of course, we all know that this administration and this Secretary of Defense will fold like a Kmart lawn chair in the face of this limp-wrist assault by girly-men, and sully the whole thing.<\/p>\n Added January 28th 2015 by Sporkmaster.<\/strong><\/p>\n It seems that Sally Kohn is promoting his story on her site as well<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
