Don’t Look Back

There are days when I wake up and wonder if half the world has gone stark, raving mad. Today is one of those days. I think it was this cartoon that set me off today. All I hear from peaceniks, Liberals, Leftists and their Democratic Party stooges nowadays is “VIETNAM”. They yell “get out now” and “quagmire” and “lessons of Vietnam” and on and on and on, resurrecting the dread ghost of Vietnam Past, rattling its chains of horrendous mistakes and losing effort in a lost cause.

For the education of the illiterate peaceniks out there who seem to be missing several clues, let me make three very important points: (1) the Viet Cong never attacked America or killed American citizens inside our country, (2) the Viet Cong never planned on following us home and bringing the war to our shores and in fact they have left us alone, (3) the Vietnam War was lost, not by the soldiers in the field, but by an extremely vocal segment of the American people back home who, in a fit of pique, destroyed the old Democratic Party in 1968, dropped support for our troops and dishonored them when they came home, consorted with the enemy and finally convinced enough of the “new” Liberal Democrats in Congress to cut off all funding and throw the Vietnamese to the wolves.

Now you may notice first of all that items (1) and (2) do not apply to our present enemy in the War On Terror. They have already killed American citizens here in our midst and they have sworn openly and repeatedly that they will follow us home if we don’t defeat them over there. Unlike the Viet Cong their goal is not to win a country and drive Americans and democracy out. Their goal is to kill “infidels” - everywhere around the world. That would be you and me.

Which brings me to item (3) ... which does seem to apply to our present situation. Once again the same rabble-rousing crowd is clamoring for withdrawal and claiming to support the troops while emboldening the enemy with public demonstrations. Democratic politicians and celebrities are going to Iran, Syria and other countries consorting with people who have publicly announced their intent to drive us out and follow us home.

Finally, the ghost of Vietnam Past is indeed rearing its ugly head in the US Congress as newly empowered Democrats are already sliding down the slippery slope of defunding the war, forcing a withdrawal of our troops prematurely ... and throwing another country to the wolves.

What is obvious here is that the radical elements of our population learned the lesson of Vietnam and are applying the same tactics today to gain the same dishonorable result. My question to you is, “did the rest of us learn anything from Vietnam”? Are we going to sit back quietly like we did before and allow these nihilists and anarchists to pull off the same hideous betrayal that they managed in the early 1970’s?

They haven’t changed their tactics even though the enemy we face is determined to destroy us this time. We need to change our tactics with respect to the internal troublemakers - or else this time we’re going to lose much more than our honor.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
