People don't commit violent crimes because they are drunk. People commit violent crimes WHILE they are drunk. The problem is already there, the drinking might bring it out a little quicker.
Anyway I was talking about the trafficking and trade violence involving drugs (as that is WAY more prevalent than the crack head who kills someone once in a while)
Dealers slaughter each other (and people in the wrong place at the wrong time) over botched Marijuana deals in Texas all the time. None of that junk is happening in Colorado now is it?

I imagine people joined the military for a number of reasons. ... same as today. Many were drafted so the only alternative was prison or flee the country. I imagine sime join the military to escape poverty. Some join out of family tradition. I agree that our involvement in Vietnam was unnecessary but to bad mouth those who had to endure it is just unnecessary
You can't discuss drug crime without discussing ALL drug related crimes.
Sure, there is a given amount of violent crime involved with drug traffic between competing dealers protecting territories, but the amount of crime that takes place at the hands of users trying to come up with money for their next dose is staggering.
PS. the marijuana black market here in Colorado is still thriving, it's just more difficult for law enforcement to catch and prosecute the offenders now.

It was a 60's war fought with a 50's mentality -- stop the advancement of communism. Well what do you know, today's democrat leaders in Washington are communists. So much for the Vietnam War. And my words are spoken with the absolute, utmost, unequivocal respect for our Vietnam Veterans. Its the swine who ran that war that I despise with every fiber of my soul, as well as today's democrat leaders.
I was just a kid at the time but I remember hearing about the fighting in the news. Every night they would say where the fighting was taking place and how many US soldiers were either killed or missing in action. Some of my classmates had fathers over there and we were too young to even know what war was. I don't know if any of them lost their dads, but to me this is the kind of thing that should always be dealt with the utmost respect.

Pssst, that generation that lived through it isn't dead. Feel free to find some and ask. (The "Old Guys" at the VA hospital remember it well.) The movies (Apocalypse Now, Platoon) were acid trips gone bad. As real to anything as purple rain. Hippies treated them badly? Might want to check that one out too. Many of the hippies had already gone.
Was it necessary? The whole point was to stop wide-spread communism. Vietnamese didn't want communism. But the politicians can't seem to help but aim for the one and only thing they want out of life -- to remain politicians by getting re-elected, so they dragged their feet (and, according to the guy making that long-winded speech tonight on national TV, then get the next party member elected.) If politicians went back to letting military leaders lead, most the wars we have could be won much quicker. Only thing politicians are supposed to decide is if we go to war. If they vote yes, then dagnabit! Pay for it!
(I went through and then worked for a drug rehab center in the 1970's. Trust me. It's often worse than you hear.)

Those hippies and protesters are todays liberals...go figure 
Of all the hippies I've ever met in later life, most of them are conservative now, (including the one I married. lol)
