Camo was not the uniform of the day in Viet Nam and that "war" produced countless heroes - those that were not captured AND THOSE THAT WERE and suffered up until the day they were freed or died in captivity.

I don't quite understand the point of the hashtag thing, but whatever...

And in response to this, a couple points:

I agree with absolutely everything she says. However, I hope she had aired similarly strong views about the shootings in Charleston and Louisiana. To do so would show she is a true, patriotic American in all respects, as she says she is. They are similar types of killings in that they were borne of an ideology gone wrong. Please post them.

I think camo was pretty standard in Vietnam, no? It was just of the jungle green variety, not sandy brown.

The regular Army uni didn't have the "camo" print but was indeed a jungle green color. Special forces did, however, have "camo" print in various shades of green. There were many heroes in the plain green uni as well as the SF guys - more the unsung heroes.

Gotcha - thanks for the education.

Again, I agree with all 3 of these videos that are basically the same point. Where are the ones for the Charleston & Louisiana shootings? That's part of patriotism too,

I82 - how are the 3 incidents (Chatt, Charleston and Louisiana). I'm not sure about Louisiana but the prez did call out white supremacists in the Charleston attack. I think the point of the videos is that the administration refuses to call out the enemy in the Chattanooga attack. If I read your comment correctly, you're saying if she was a real patriot she'd have videos on the other attacks. She didn't need to right?

Maybe I didn’t express my point well. I have not seen this station/site, only going from what is posted here. All that is posted are stories or editorials that discredit and criticize the President on the Chattanooga shootings. That’s all well and good, but a good news source would comment on all news-worthy stories. The 2 of them that I watched were, as you say, about the extremist beliefs that resulted in the killings in Chattanooga. And, I fully agree with all of the views expressed in those videos. However, the other two shootings were also rooted in extremist beliefs that resulted in violent deaths.  I just think there should be some kind of commentary making that point.

We have 3 videos on the one shooting; I have seen none on the other two – maybe they exist. It doesn’t have to be critical of the President. Just as I want the president to be ‘equal’ in his treatment of currents events, I would like to hear our news organizations do the same.

I still don't feel I expressed myself properly.  Does that make sense?
