There are a few shattered Vietnam hermit vets that live in in the hills behind me. They collect ferns and sorrel for the florists. Most try their best to avoid humans in general. One guy knows I did my time in country and comes to see me once in a while. I give him my old magazines. He's have been there since the 70's.
Ya right, we support our troops. Fuck Bush & the village.

Stress of war; also the result of training.
Harper's reported some time back (I have a link somewhere, but I'm lazy...) that military training after Vietnam went from "Do it for your buddy!" to "Be a stone cold killer!"
Which is rather hard training to shake off, especially after awhile in Iraq.
And John McCain promises a million years of this!
We just had a situation here in MN where a soldier was "sucided by cop" (a term I loathe, BTW).
Then, a few months after he died, his mother broke into his house and stole a bunch of his shit.

I worked with a Vietnam Vet for a while. Nice guy, but the experienced had obviously profoundly effected him. He told me about some vets he knew who lived out in the wilds like that.
i am not at all surprised to read news like this, and i expect much, much more like it to come.
ntodd, others- i left an answer downstairs.
When I was there the goal was to just stay alive. That was everybody including LT. Nobody cared about winning. We all knew it was bullshit. We knew there was no win possible.
I'm guessing there is a lot of that going on in Iraq now.
Ah, here's the Harper's article.
Serious people, without virtue, with serious hate have made the beautiful earth into something that it should not be.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation had a story on the best Post Traumatic Stress Disorder treatment facility in the world. It's in the Army and open only to soldiers under arms who have already agreed to go back. Essentially it's not so much treatment of sick people as a way from the Army to prevent Columbine situations.
They also had a bitter interview with an army wife who said the only way the VA pays attention to psychological problems is if you hurt someone or are about to kill yourself. (We ourselves have received outstanding service from the VA regarding non-combat-related physical problems but have no confidence in their psychological services.)
Sure wish I didn't live 2 hours from the nearest VA outpatient clinic. That's something I'd really love to help with.
To the significant limits of my abilities, of course.
Now is probably not the time to offer up my exegesis on how the VietNam war effectively destroyed male/female relations for an entire generation.

MANAMA, Bahrain - President Bush said Saturday he is open to the possibility of slowing or stopping plans to bring home more U.S. troops from Iraq, defying domestic demands to speed the withdrawals. Updated on war developments, Bush said the U.S. presence in Iraq will outlast his presidency.
Nothing in the affairs of man ...
People's interviewer also mentioned that readers had asked if he takes sleep aids. Bush said generally not, but he does occasionally when he travels.
“I must tell you, I'm sleeping a lot better than people would assume,” he said. He said he drinks a couple of cups of coffee in the morning and drinks a lot of water and, of course, no alcohol.“I don't drink alcohol. I can remember when I used to drink, I had trouble sleeping at night,” the President said.

Fort Carson Ring Linked to G.I. Deaths
Two Iraq war veterans from the same Fort Carson platoon were tied to a Colorado Springs crime ring that police said is responsible for killing two Soldiers and other recent violent crimes.
Colorado Springs police say former Soldier Louis Bressler and Pfc. Bruce Bastien Jr. are the prime suspects in the Aug. 4 killing of Pfc. Robert James, 23, of the 43rd Area Support Group, whose bullet-riddled body was found in a car in a Lake Avenue bank parking lot.
Bressler, 24, and Bastien, 21, are in jail in connection with death of Spc. Kevin Shields of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, whose body was found Dec. 1 on the sidewalk in the 200 block of South 16th Street near Old Colorado City after he was shot to death. He had been out celebrating his 24th birthday.
Family members have said Bressler came home from Iraq for treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, a mental illness that has become a hallmark of the Iraq war. Some 600 Fort Carson Soldiers were diagnosed with it last year.
Commanders at the post have said war-related stress is possibly responsible for a sharp increase in crime on the post since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
The number of Soldiers going AWOL for a month or more went from 22 in 2003 to 110 last year. Domestic violence reports rose from 21 in 2003 to 79 last year, and theft reports jumped from 68 to 179.
Of course it will outlast his presidency, that was the whole point of the "surge"

I'd be interested to read that sometime. I've had thoughts along the same line myself. I've had thoughts on that myself, though I've never formulated it out. But my older sister lost a fiance in Vietnam, and watching her subsequent dating life and the type of guy she eventually married makes that very plausible to me.

Chronister served in Iraq and Afghanistan and has been missing from his Bibb County apartment near Lake Tobesofkee since Nov. 10, 2007. His 1997 teal green Ford Ranger was found Nov. 19, 2007, at an Acworth gas station, according to Bibb Police.
He is known to become disoriented and suffer memory loss, and was scheduled to see a new doctor at the veteran's hospital in Macon on Nov. 14, 2007, according to Ms. Futrell.
An unsuccessful search effort involving 37 people was held Saturday in northwest Cobb, after a reported sighting of him last week in the middle of Stilesboro Road in Acworth near the Stilesboro Biscuits restaurant.

Indeed. Having been to Europe, they seem to have learned more from their tragedies than we have. Mr's T and I were at Margraten a couple of years ago on the coldest, iciest winter day you could imagine. We were the only tourists there. But the place had constant traffic from local people tending adopted grave sites, as they have since the cemetery was established. This was a humbling sight to see.

I think it's unlikely, but I'd like to see the Patriots lose.
I was born in Boston, and well recall the AFC days, the playing at Fenway, at BU Stadium, Billy Sullivan, the near-move to Hartford, the years of abject awfulness. I love my Patsies, and I don't care.
Now I'm going to watch them play the Jaguars. I'm hoping for a victory, but I never expect much.

more on the missing vet in cobb county:
Chronister, 33, returned from Iraq in September 2003. But shortly after, his mental health began deteriorating.
Before Iraq he was "a happy-go-lucky, fun guy. He was very engaged with his nieces and nephews," she said
After Iraq, he withdrew more and more. Lately he has been obsessed with "cleansing the toxins from his body. He felt the toxins caused his mental illness," Futrell said.
i suspect he is not the only one - i only heard about him because it is a local story. and, of course, there is the suicide epidemic among veterans as well.

Visual analog to back to mine series: in the book www.HRGiger.com (this is a book title modelled after a URL), there is a section with some of Giger's personal art collection from other people. It is as fracking amazing as you would expect. One favorite piece at the end has a Mexican block print representation of Mr Death's week, sporting a penultimate rest at a cafe in a nice suit and ending with the skeleton taken apart by dogs who view it as mere bones. Another has an impossibly soft colored pencil representation of a little girl nearly contacting a hummingbird with a cherry in its beak. There is a lifelike surrealist painting from a French artist with tremendous clams on meathooks in some strange but totally credible workroom. And there is the frenetic Joe Coleman's voodoun portrait of Charlie Manson.

A new troubling myth has taken hold in Washington and it is critical that the record is set straight. According to the mainstream media, Republicans, and unfortunately even some Democrats, the President's surge in Iraq has been a resounding success. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.

The private war of women soldiers
Spc. Mickiela Montoya, 21, who was in Iraq with the National Guard in 2005, took to carrying a knife with her at all times. "The knife wasn't for the Iraqis," she told me. "It was for the guys on my own side."
.............
Last year, Col. Janis Karpinski caused a stir by publicly reporting that in 2003, three female soldiers had died of dehydration in Iraq, which can get up to 126 degrees in the summer, because they refused to drink liquids late in the day. They were afraid of being raped by male soldiers if they walked to the latrines after dark.
................
As the highest-ranking official to lose her job over the torture scandal, she claims she was scapegoated, and has become an outspoken critic of the military's treatment of women. In turn, the Army has accused her of sour grapes.)

After Iraq, he withdrew more and more. Lately he has been obsessed with
"cleansing the toxins from his body. He felt the toxins caused his
mental illness," Futrell said.
Well. There is a lot of truth to this. American free market nonsense has permitted our drinking water, our hygiene products and our food to be filled with poisonous garbage. For years aspartame was all but officially declared to be a dangerous carcinogen; its final death knell was scheduled just as Jimmy Carter was leaving office; and what should President Reagan bring with him but a new FDA staff who rush-approved aspartame as a sugar substitute? A recent consumer advocate guy, it wasn't Eric Schlosser, notes that in an American shampoo factory there is a parallel production line, one for the American version and the other for the European version which is free of all the crap the Ameican one is allowed to contain. We have felt consistently better after switching to Dr Bronner's soaps (also endorsed by Rowland's Overcompensating) and taking lots of real vitamins.* The American diet isn't just bad for your waistline, it actually depresses you.
*the ultra cheap ones at WalMart have aspartame. What the hell kind of moron puts asparatame in a product only sold to people who care about nutrition? The morons running Wal Mart.
Did I mention I've ordered a copy of _Teh Donut Book_ by Jane Stern? When I have these fads, I go to town, I admit it.

TGLSITW has no sig out front, in fact the thing that is supposed to be the sign is missing the glass part where the name would be, but once you enter you are confronted with a library of bottles representing every different kind of booze, requiring one of those attached wheeled ladders old-fashioned libraries always had. Real Kreen soju $12 or less for a fifth and less than $20 for a half gallon.

I had another in a series of "Fuck. You." moments listening to NicePoliteRepublicans this morning. They gave several minutes to some asshole financial type to explain patiently how great the economy is and how great Bush has been for creating jobs and besides you don't really want a lot of people working anyway because then they ask for more money and you can't just fire them and hire some other sucker and then that's bad for everyone.

TE Lawrence, in his first enlistment.
You just reminded me of something. On the night of the NH primary, Tweety compared some repuke candidate to fucking T.E. Lawrence.
Who the hell was it? It was insane.
War is not awesome. The weather in LA today, however, was.
Apropos of Kwai, I read once that William Holden is the referent Suzanne Vega mentioned in Tom's Diner.
GWPDA: Teh kuhl. Alec Guinness as 'Ross'.
WHo's playing Rachael and Joey?

Ah yes, Mitt Romney is clearly an effete young homosexual Orientalist with mastery of the Eastern languages and plaguing recurring contempt of his native race, with careful relations to the greater literary minds of his time.

I dunno, but Jon stewart devoted a lot of time to it, and then CNN picked up Stewart and was playing it, and JS saying "that man is insane."

Only half-heartedly. I have eight months to go before I can get really interested, again.

Ah, but the point of Paperclip was to knowingly hire Nazis, whereas these war criminals were hiding from successful Nazi MacArthur (and if you object to that use of the Nazi term flinging, consider his solution to Korea was to totally destroy the peninsula, render it uninhabitable and poison the Chinese and Russians with the resulting radiation).
All desserts eaten in the presence of friends a) have no calories and b) taste even better.
About a third of the victims were spouses, girlfriends, children or other relatives, among them 2-year-old Krisiauna Calaira Lewis, whose 20-year-old father slammed her against a wall when he was recuperating in Texas from a bombing near Falluja that blew off his foot and shook up his brain.

What better way to honor a soldier in the war on flu?
I think that we're gonna go out and play some NTN trivia at the bowling alley in West St. Paul soon. Yeah, it's suburban, but what are you gonna do?

There are no wineries in Paramus.
There is a however, a guy living in an Ikea.

I don't care if businesses fly the flag. (I think the giant flag over the dealership is lame, but whatever.)
They've developed this association between the flag and slavish submission to the government, and that's just fucking wrong.
I mean, Mr. V and I were checking out restaurants, and one had an American flag on the menu they put outside, and he said, "Well, I don't know what that's supposed to mean."
But we do know what it means. It means, "Sieg . . .".
OK, maybe that goes too far. But the indoctrination and the kind of idolatry of the flag that goes along with submission to authority is very disturbing.

I used to live in a town called Salt Point. The story was that farmers brought their cows there to lick salt for a while so they drank more water, weighed more when they got sold, etc. I was telling this to a guy a few months ago. He said, "You ever hear about them feeding cows cement?"

Just remember that hurt is hurt. Can't minimize it.
I'm not gonna go all Michael Stipe on you or anything, but you, like the good person you are, have feelings.
Dad's smoked most of his life, and he's paying the price for it. Simple as that. I don't know how I should deal with it, and I'm really being coy w/ Zapette, my Mom, and my sibs. Probably not very healthy, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this form of familial mortality.
That's certainly petty compared to the plight of those abutted against US foreign policy and such, but it no less hurts. Nor should you deny that you hurt. You know yourself best...precede accordingly.
