History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 Americans Died for Nothing... Something They Don't Teach in School Now... "Too Controversial" -

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs. 

During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was... if we did not prevent Vietnam from becoming Communist, one by one those countries over there would turn Commie and soon Commies would take over the Entire World and We Would be fighting them at Our Border With Mexico...  Communism Would threaten the American Way of Life Right Here at Home!

Dominos was a Family Game popular before the invention of Computers and Video Games... Since "Everyone" Knew what they were... the US Government Named our Foreign Policy for that Game... Because It Made the Policy Easy to Understand...

President Eisenhower and Kennedy sent advisors to help the South Vietnamese soldiers fight the North Vietnamese soldiers.

Trump was Right. Being a Draft Dodger was a Smart Move. Getting a Doctor to say he had "Bone Spurs" might Have saved His Life... Much Better than Actually GOING to Vietnam and Killing People for No Reason.

 

Trump was right. Hiring a Fake doctor to give a "medical" deferment was a better idea than going to Vietnam... to Kill people for No Reason... my friends that went are still angry about being drafted.

If you had money... you could go to college for four years and get a 2S deferment... THAT'S Motivation to get good grades... If you flunked out... you went to Vietnam... 58,000 Americans died for nothing!

Was the Entire POINT of the Vietnam War Marketing to sell Hughes Helicopters and DOW Chemical Napalm & Agent Orange?

I wish I Had Gone to MORE Anti-War Protest Marches... I'm Glad I Protested against the Vietnam war and I Protested Against the Idiot Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan too. Eventually the US Government Stopped Killing People for no reason... Because of Millions of Us Marching in the Streets!

Back in the late 1990’s Julia Hill climbed a 1500-year-old redwood tree named Luna and she didn’t come down for another 738 days.

From December 1997 to December 1999, she lived in the canopy of a giant 1500 year old redwood tree named Luna. She ended her revolutionary action when an agreement was made with Pacific Lumber Company to spare the tree and a 200 foot buffer zone surrounding the tree.

Once up the tree, she vowed not to come down until she had made a difference. Clinging to her mattress through violent storms, supported with food and necessities by a ground crew, she stayed two years and eight days.

It's a tactic taken straight from the dictator's guide to overthrowing territories. All of this chaos was planned. All of it. They're a bunch of arrogant narcissists so the theater is over the top, but it was all planned. Convince the people government doesn't work. They reduce the size of the government and the dictator reigns supreme.

If government didn't work it would happen when the Democrats were in power. It didn't happen. Democrats get things done because government can and does work when those who govern care about the country and are intelligent, educated and experienced.

Vile an impious evil man..who has poison many people's lives with his network of hateful bigotry and his bullshit belief of an ethnic white supremacy. Another ignor**nt brainwashed Australian immigrant, who calls other immigrants illegal while living in native American stolen land.

Everyone Laughs at Trump for having "Bone Spurs" that allowed him to Dodge The Draft and Avoid Going to Vietnam... But Faking a Medical Deferment was a Smart Thing To Do.

During the Vietnam War many people did not have to go because of Medical Deferments - 4F - or Student Deferments -2S... What that meant was that rich people could buy their way out of serving... a very common practice...

If you could get a Doctor to Sign a Paper stating that you had a medical reason not to go... that might have saved your own life... 58,000 Americans Died and Rich people certainly didn't want THEIR OWN SONS to die.

The Student Deferments were an obvious class war discrimination. If you were rich enough to GO TO COLLEGE, you didn't have to go to war... Well, who didn't go to college? Poor whites, Blacks, Mexican Americans and Indians... This entire war was a form of Genocide against NON-WHITES. The people that went over there were mostly from the lower classes...

I was not asked to Go to Vietnam. I was ONE YEAR TOO YOUNG. Born in 1954 I was a Fortunate One...

Great Musical: "Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical." A True Gem of the Sixties... The Dawning of The Age of Aquarius...

I was talking to my caregiver (a 40 year old person) and she had never heard of the Musical "Hair"... So I sang her a bit of Manchester England England...

Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical is a rock musical with a book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado and music by Galt MacDermot. A product of the hippie counterculture and sexual revolution of the late 1960s, several of its songs became anthems of the anti-Vietnam War peace movement. The musical's profanity, its depiction of the use of illegal drugs, its treatment of sexuality, its irreverence for the American flag, and its nude scene caused much comment and controversy.^[1] The musical broke new ground in musical theatre by defining the genre of "rock musical", using a racially integrated cast, and inviting the audience onstage for a "Be-In" finale.^[2]

Hair tells the story of the "tribe", a group of politically active, long-haired hippies of the "Age of Aquarius" living a bohemian life in New York City and fighting against conscription into the Vietnam War. Claude, his good friend Berger, their roommate Sheila and their friends struggle to balance their young lives, loves, and the sexual revolution with their rebellion against the war and their conservative parents and society. Ultimately, Claude must decide whether to resist the draft as his friends have done, or to succumb to the pressures of his parents (and conservative America) to serve in Vietnam, compromising his pacifist principles and risking his life.

Am       Cmaj7  D/A        Em
When the moon,   is in the seventh house,
    Cmaj7   D/A     Em
And Jupiter, aligns with Mars.
     Cmaj7  D/A             Em
Then peace,  will guide the planets,
    C  D                   G (n.C)
And lo-ove, will steer the stars.

[Chorus 1:]

(n.C)                       F                         Am
 This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, age of A-quarius.
  D            Am
A-quarius... A-quarius.

[Bridge 1:]

G                  C         G                    C
 Harmony and under-standing, sympathy and trust a-bounding.
G                         C               Am     G/B       C
 No more falsehoods or de-risions, golden living dreams of visions,
               E7   Am                          Dm    Em
Mystic crystal reve-lations and the mind's true liber-ation.
  Dm           Am
A-quarius... A-quarius.
