A Smack Of Cowardice Poem by Stanley Cooper

One should woory, however, about not reading into a comment what is NOT there in plain fact! You can't just free associate and suggest contrary opinions that do just happen to be in agreement with your ideas. Ask Michael Gale where America gets most of its oil? Let me stress that a terrorist attack on America forced the President with the approval of Congress to invade Iraq! Was the Congress cowardly to walk away from Viet Nam? Was the American military defeated in Viet Nam with the connivance of the Congress?

...An account of solid facts..retroceptive too.. Criticism is worth no nickel as the trees with fruits are ever pelted with stones...

Don't worry about the bad negative comments from Mr. Pruchnicki. It takes a much bigger man to walk away from violence. Name-calling is a real showing of infantcy in a supposed grown up man and critic. How many months or years are we supposed to stay in a foreign country fighting a war for oil that does not even belong to (U.S.) . Is it really being a coward to walk away from Viet Iraq? I think not. How many more thousands of American soldiers must die just to prove a political useless point? This was a great poem. God bless all peaceful poets and readers alike-MJG.

I don't what to make of this excursion into politically correct doctrine - say what you want, Stanley, your country is always at fault, right? Did the Army of Occupation in Japan smack of cowardice? Of course, the Empire of Japan became a model of democratic government under the auspices of the United States and its ragtag Army of Occupation, right? What are we to do when even veterans like you turn tail?
