Pizza Hut should be wiped from the face of the Earth. I occasionally have some of their pizza with the really sweet sauce. It is wretched.
Pizza Hut is a saint you shut your stupid fucking mouth. The pan crust is glorious. Sauce and cheese are "eh" but the crust makes up for it a thousand times over.
Dominos, on the other hand, just blows and has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Papa Johns seemed okay the one time I tried it.
In Thailand, Dominos was actually run out of business by Pizza Hut and a local franchise that ripped off Pizza Hut, creatively named "The Pizza Company".
My dad got his lawyer to keep him from having to become a veteran.
It's one of the things I respect about him most.
Also because it kept me from not existing.
Veterans of that war are either people who were deluded by society, weren't clever enough to get out of it or flee, people who were desperate, or people who're just fucked up.
I can feel -sorry- for them, sure. But respect has to be earned in some way other than what amounted to blood sports.
Since no one else touched on this, I would just like to thank you for having the courage to get on a public forum like this, and insult so many people you've never met. I can't wait to tell my Dad, several uncles, a couple teachers, and all in all a great deal of people that I respect that they're a bunch of deluded fuckups for fighting in Vietnam, and they should have did the smart thing and dodged the draft like some random guy on the internets Dad, you know, instead of being an idiot and getting drafted or, god help them, actually enlisting! They'll be glad to have your pity I'm sure.

You sound pretty outraged that some random dude doesn't respect your relatives for having been drafted. I mean, I'm not really in agreement with fireguy on this one, but hell if that's his take on it, whatever.

I've had family in the military.
They are all very happy that they came to their senses.
I'm sorry that your family did not learn from their mistakes, and made sure to pass on the delusion.

It's not showing a lack of respect, I'd be fine with that. I'm not saying everyone who was in the Vietnam war is some big hero or something like that, I'm saying that characterizing all of them as either deulded, dumb, desperate or fuck ups is offensive.
Edit: Incenjucar I'm trying my hardest not to resort to insults here. I'm not saying I agree with the vietnam war, I don't. I'm not even saying most of the people I know who served in it either agreed with it then or do now. I am saying that they aren't fuckups or stupid for having served, I don't want you to bow down and kiss their feet, just don't insult them.
Yeah at first I thought that was an unreasonable statement. And then I thought about all the reasons a person could have to fight in the Vietnam war and I couldn't think of any that weren't covered having one of those traits, at least to some extent.

There is no -good- reason to have participated in that war.
They are all BAD reasons, or at best, SAD reasons.
edit: Insult me if you please. My opinion is what it is, and it has quite the strong basis. I'm not changing it just because it hurts the feelings of people and the family of people who made poor decisions or who were forced in to those decisions.
So not wanting to break the law is a bad reason? Not feeling like just because you're family is rich enough to keep you in college and get a defferment is any reason to let your countrymen die while you stay in relative luxury is a bad reason? The fact that you were in the millitary when the war started and you can't just quit is a bad reason? I'm not trying to say people who dodged the draft were cowards or anything, I can understand that there were plenty of reasons to not want to serve in that war and I honestly don't know what I would have done had I been there. It does not follow though, that anyone who did serve in it was a fuckup or a moron, people died goddamnit, good fucking people got hurt and some of them are still hurt today. They don't need someone like you looking back on it from 30 years in the future and to declare that they are all worse human beings for having been involved in it.

That is a very sweet appeal to emotion you got there. Almost brought a tear to my eyes. Almost.
When following the law involves shooting people in their own damned country, YES YOU FUCKING MORON.
Not feeling like just because you're family is rich enough to keep you in college and get a defferment is any reason to let your countrymen die while you stay in relative luxury is a bad reason?
Your countrymen are SHOOTING PEOPLE.
The fact that you were in the millitary when the war started and you can't just quit is a bad reason?
Being deluded in to believing that your country is actually on your side or the side of good is where the "SAD" things come in. Being forced in to something vile is BAD. But being a victim and a sap doesn't make you instantly worthy of respect.
It's like applauding someone for accidentally stepping on a baby's head.

Even the smartest people can be deluded and trapped. It does not give them the right to my respect.
people died goddamnit,
And whose fault is THAT, eh?
good fucking people got hurt and some of them are still hurt today.
And as noted, they have my pity for either making a stupid decision or being trapped in to the situation.

Albert Einstein spawned the atomic age. Even he accepted how horrible a thing that was.
Much of his greatness is that he made one of the most terrible moves in history, and that he was mature enough to acknowledge that the world was not a better place for it.
Again: There is no good reason to have been involved in that war. Only the bad and the sad.
I'm inclined to agree with Neaden on this one. Atrocities were committed by both sides and there's no way we can really appreciate what effects armed conflict can have on each individual human psyche without having experienced it ourselves. There really are no rules in war, just people trying to survive. We'd like to believe that those who break our standardized guidelines for restraint will held accountable, but soldiers are essentially trained to kill. That's their federal government-sanctioned job.
We could be fighting for all the wrong reasons, but the reality is too complex to hold every single participant responsible for the actions of others or for the corrupted/incompetent decisions of their leaders. Politicians start wars, soldiers fight them, civilians suffer. That's war.

The point wasn't about holding people accountable for what they do in war, or that the effects of it are bad. The point is that there wasn't any good reason to be involved in Vietnam, hence, why would anyone be involved in it?

Doesn't it? He's assuming a generality regarding over a million American soldiers and I'm arguing it's never that simple.
There was no good reason to drop atomic bombs on Japan, and yet it's still widely accepted to this day that it was a pivotal factor in ending the Second World War, in spite of everything we know now. You're telling me you don't sympathize with that mentality, even a little?

That's totally unrelated. There was an (at least arguable) good reason to drop the bombs on Japan. It ended the war quickly, preventing further, potentially greater bloodshed.
There was no good reason for the Vietnam war.

Thank you for proving my point. The Japanese were going to surrender, but we had to make it unconditional. And if we'd waited for a few more months, they'd give us the unconditional. But did we know that at the time? There's always a reason, however flimsy or ammoral. In the case of Vietnam, you know about the whole domino theory. It was us and our Western imperial friends and the Soviets with their Communist allies. And we couldn't show weakness by letting Southeast Asia turn red, and at the time we thought that's exactly what would happen.
Always a reason. Or else it wouldn't have happened.

Okay, you guys are arguing that there was no reason for Vietnam. And yet it happened. Cause and effect dictates that there had to be reason. Doesn't matter if it wasn't a noble reason, it's still a reason. And the reality is that there were two superpowers after World War II. And American leaders didn't want to risk having an entire region falling under the influence of the other superpower. It's really that simple. Yes, they got caught up in their own ideals masking what was at its core self-preservation or lust for power or both. But that was their reasoning. You say there's no reason and yet there you have it.
You're escaping into semantics, now. Of course there was actually a stated reason to go to war. Lyndon Johnson didn't just stand up and say 'you know, I feel like invading a small southeast asian country this week.'
The point is that there wasn't a good reason for the war, and even less good reason for the average citizen to become involved via the draft, and still less reason to claim that the draft was somehow a good thing because people close to you were called up.

Yes, the "I'm brave because I'm a dick" claim to glory. I express my opinions unapologetically in environments where they will be warmly received! If only all our nation possessed such raw courage to enjoy the adulation and congratulation of others!
Surely, there has been no other conflict in recent memory founded on government lies only later exposed. And, yea, if a soldier decides not to do his or her duty due to newfound objections, the armed forces will be completely understanding and accommodating of their position - and absolutely no one will die before their final opinions on the matter will have time to form and before they have had time to see all pertinent evidence. Conscription is, really, only a suggestion - hence the name, "conscription" - and no one who desires not to fight lacks the money to hire counsel or is unable to divest the familial and financial obligations that tie them to their home and might prevent flight to another nation. For money grows in the bellies of fish that swim from Neverland, raised on the water-borne fruit of the jellybean tree.
And what is the opinion of George W. Bush, who, like Incenjucar's father, also used his family's affluence to escape combat?

Probably. But how do you lambast an entire group of people for doing what they were conscripted and paid to do? Sure, we support our troops now but you could blame this current occupying force in Iraq more than you could blame Vietnam vets who weren't even part of a volunteer army.

Man no one here is saying the draft was a good thing. I'm saying that putting everyone who served in Vietnam into one of the four catagories of 1. Stupid. 2. Deluded. 3. Desperate or 4. Fucked up is pretty damn offensive to some people who were in a pretty miserable situation. And Synonymous I'd really appreciate it if we could all refrain from any personal attacks. It's just going to make things worse and as I said before, I honestly can't blame anyone for not wanting to serve in Vietnam.

Making or being forced in to bad decisions does not deserve my respect. Go call someone who got in a car accident noble if you wish.

It would be fine if he didn't then send other people to go die.

Saying that people were deluded is not lambasting them. It's an unfortunate thing that they were tricked.
But being tricked does not mean "Oh, you were so awesome, what with your being used and all."
My opinion of the majority of veterans is purely neutral. They are what they are. Their veteran status simply has no reason for me to apply a positive opinion.
Plenty of people have done bad things or have been forced into doing bad things. Sometimes it's because they're stupid or deluded, or sometimes they get forced into it by their circumstances (i.e., are desperate.)
That doesn't make it good, and it doesn't mean anyone should pretend otherwise just for the sake of making them feel better.

I think the only problem I have here is you're stating this "they were all deluded, no smart person would ever go to war" as fact. Which is ironic, considering the only reason you're able to say this without being arrested, tried, and executed is because people have been willing to go to war.
Sure, 30 years after the fact we know that the Domino Effect never happened, that communism spent itself out of existence. But at the time, it was a real fear. And even completely ignoring the fear of communism, we went to South Vietnam to help our allies, the French.
No war is good, no war is "just", but that doesn't mean no war is necessary. John Stuart Mill said it best.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
