Maybe this will help

Gook
(Not PC)A crude term for anyone of oriental extraction--particularly an enemy (North Korean, North Vietnamese). The term began during the Korean war as the Korean character for American is pronounced "me-gook". Children in particular would point to the American GIs and say "me-gook" and the gesture was misinterpreted. The GIs quickly began calling Koreans "gooks" and the term was revived in Vietnam to mean all asian peoples.

Koreans are 'Han-Gook' and somehow Japanese are 'Il-Bun'. 🙄
Count on good ole Merican terminology to screw up interpretations... 😛

Wrong Dude. I do have a clue.

Ask me how I feel about people spitting at my Dad as he got home in San Diego from his second tour aboard the Kitty Hawk (the aircraft carrier).

Never mind, I will not answer.

I still admire his logbooks with the thousands of hours and carrier landings in the Gulf of Tonkin.

You missed the question.

That is what is sad. :down:

My Brother was sitting on top of his houch in Cahm Rahn Bay, doing a doobie, and watching the Marines take the beach... 😛

If McCarthy was misguided then my right to speak was never at risk.

If my house where a tree I would be foolish to write on paper… 😛

Since McCarthy was misguided you are not living in a tree so you may write on what ever media you choose.

Why?

McCarthy was a bully. Most knew this but he used his position and his power to abuse people and scare them into submission. He along with others were able to whip the public into a frenzy about the evil commies. Viet Nam was never a threat to the US. Had the US actually been concerned about the freedom of the Vietnamese people, that would have been one thing. That was not the case. We were worried about an idea. We were 'worried' about those 'godless heathens' spreading their evil ways.

The threat was manufactured. The right wingers at the time used religion and fear to manipulate the public.

Unfortunately, the soldiers who fought in that misguided fiasco are still paying the price. They are suffering mental and physical illnesses while we fritter away more and more money on more useless wars. The suicide rate among vets is higher then the general population and no one blinks an eye.
