When I was young the very same people calling for war today are the people who spit on our Vietnam Vets for fighting a war that they did not volunteer for.
I understand that the sacrifice can be worth it, but the pain that Katharine experienced could have been hard to bare at times.
As you may know, some of us are compelled beyond our comfort zones.
Thanks for the clarification. I agree. What they did to Katherine was hard to bare, as is the case for most whistleblowers. And yes, beyond our comfort zones.
NO ONE spit on returning Vietnam vets. That was a CIA-initiated propaganda to debunk the growing anti-war movement. The film "Yes Sir, No Sir" goes into that in some detail. That film is one of the best concerning the Vietnam antiwar movement.
There is no clarification. Go to YouTube and watch the soldiers being protested. I watched the news and saw it for myself. I don't have to see a movie.
I don't exactly understand. Which warmongers did you back when?
Also Katherine did go through pain and suffering at the time but her life is much more than that and as she says in the interview she has peace of mind that she spoke up and not remained silent.

I am finished with this conversation.
I think that being a political empath would be the worst. Thank you to Katharine Gun.
My apologies for having to lead a life of pain and sacrifice to inform and protect the rest of us.
It seems that in hindsight, the more reverent I was in my youth towards a peaceful America, the more I ended up backing the warmongers.
Can that be true?
