You had 65+ years to build a nest egg. Why didn’t you? You spent, and borrowed, and spent, and borrowed, and now you want the rest of us to pay for your generations’ binge.

Cry me a river. You want all sorts of “senior discounts” and “senior benefits” and “senior protections”. The way I see it, you’ve got more experience, so you shouldn’t be scammed so easily. You’ve had more time to save and learn to budget, but you didn’t. The working generation is already paying too much for your folly.

TH3 is right on the money. Who says it’s up to us younger folks to finance the older folks who didn’t save and invest for their “Golden Years”. The younger crowd sick of it and we intend change things.

And you know, you young people are right. I was saying this to my generation 30 years ago, and they laughed like hyenas at the thought that their stupidity would ever come back to haunt them.

And I told them that the next big social fracture to come would be the young against the old, and they laughed at me. Thirty years ago I said this, I swear to God, and now it is starting to happen.

My generation fought and died so your state could have freer access to rubber and the jobs created by your damned tire manufacturing corporations. You damned ingrate.

And everyone I know who fought in Vietnam is either sick or dead.

My father is doing well.

Now tell us how Viet Nam gaveus freer access to rubber.

You seem to brag about some "jobs" then rip them as "damned".

Why do you think we were over there? To merely fight the commie horde or to keep the rubber plantations producing and exporting?

I've honestly never heard the rubber angle.

I think we were there because some of our leaders feared a communist domino effect. You might even add in rightly or wrongly.

They may have even staged that Gulf of Tonkin incident.

Didn't we have an embargo against doing business with the Viet commies after the war?

Didn't we "normalize" our relations with them during the first Bush or Clinton?

Because we didn't get the desired result in Vietnam doesn't mean it wasn't one of the primary goals.

The rubber angle is too simplistic, bordering on the absurd.

Stone's closer, but you have to go back to the 1950's and the escalation of the Cold War. John Foster Dulles really set the underlying philosophies that were followed by people like McNamara and Kissinger.

It's also partially a result of the Military Industrial Complex which Eisenhower referred to in his final speech as POTUS.

The MIC and crony-capitalist system now in place relegate our country to suffer the debts of continuous wars, until we haven't two nickels to rub together.

It could easily be argued that the USA hasn't been involved in a "just war" since WWII. It could even be argued that we've not been involved in a just war since 1861... and the "good" guys lost.

Your friends and family who have suffered from the wars they've been involved in, suffered not because of a just war... but because weapons manufacturers wanted to make a profit. It's a bitter fact, but it's the truth.

As to expiremental programs by the military, I was involved in several, as a test subject (guinea pig). I was young and naive, and never imagined the government would actively endanger their own servicemen's lives... I am exhibiting some symptoms that are common with others who were in the same expiremental programs as myself, namely degenerative arthritis, which was diagnosed while still in the military at age 24.

I've honestly never heard the rubber angle.

From Wikipedia:

Ben Cui is a rubber plantation that is part of the Michelin Rubber Plantation near Dau Tieng, Republic of Vietnam. During the Vietnam War, Ben Cui and other sections of the Michelin rubber plantation were the scene of intense fighting between United States forces and the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and Viet Cong forces.

Staff Sergeant Marvin "Rex" Young, Company C, 1st Battalion (Mechanized),, 5th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division posthumously received the Medal of Honor, in recognition of the repeated efforts he made to save the lives of his comrades near Ben Cui on August 21, 1968. The 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry Regiment, earned the Presidential Unit Citation for the actions from August 18 to September 20, 1968.[1]

The fighting in the Ben Cui rubber plantation is sometimes referred to as the Third Offensive, in reference to the third wave of massed North Vietnamese troops after the Tet Offensive. The Tet and subsequent offensives marked a major shift from the small hit-and-run sniper and ambush that dominated during the Vietnam War to a more massive display of force and higher numbers of casualties.

Some of the veterans of the combat in the Ben Cui and other segments of the Michelin rubber plantation believe that heavier U.S. casualties were sustained because the U.S. Army had an informal agreement with the French Government to not use artillery or air strikes in the rubber plantations, to avoid costly damage to the rubber trees. However, the Combat After Action Reports from the Ben Cui engagement of 21 August 1968 indicate that both artillery and air support were used.
