Well, to be fair, he didn't have much control over the winning or losing of the Vietnam war. But I get where you're coming from.

That's the point, he had nothing to do with the win or loss, and was not a strategist. He crashed five freaking planes and then was a POW. He really doesn't know squat, but keeps claiming he does.

He need to stop holding back and tell us how he really feels. :)

'Course...he's got a point. To, uh, you know...put it mildly.

The man is sheer brilliance.

I don't own a TV, and I'm relatively media-deprived; I've only recently come to know of his existence. But...I have to agree. From what little I've seen...yeah. Totally.

Especially since he keeps sticking it to some of the people I well and truly despise, like Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly.

Oh, to be fair, y'all lost the War of 1812 too. Wait! Wasn't he in that one too? :)

But that one didn't count. :P Because we got our national anthem out of it. :P

That's not the way they teach it in history class.

Actually, that's one of the "nobody wins" wars anyway.

Not the way they teach it here. :)

Yeah, well..

This is why Canada isn't famous for its historians! ;)

*snort*

I think this is one of those 'history is written by the victor' deals where both sides think they won. :)

Absolutely. :)

Canada considered itself the winner because it didn't get taken over, and the US considered itself the victor because, ya know.

We're America, and Canada sucks! ;)

Well, The Brits quit impressing US seamen and thinking they could harass our merchant ships in various other ways.

That's a win. :-)

Back off of my hunka hunka hunka burnin' man meat.
