Re: Low Life
I watched it and feel that she was only there to promote her book. Too late for apologies.<br /><br />She wants forgiveness? Well, I'll tell you what, maybe she could earn all our Vietnam Veteran's forgiveness and those of us who did support them if she would: Day after day, hour for hour match the amount of time she spent selling out our nation and the young men who were worth ten of her at the nearest V.A Hospital. <br /><br />I'd like to see her change bed pans, and swab the secretions from the amputees shattered limbs as their dressings are being changed. I'd like to see her there 24/7 when some young man wakes screaming in the night to hold him and help chase the demons from his sleep. Finally, I like her to meet the families of those brave men who have given the last full measure of devotion to the country she abandoned. I'd like her to see the grief and pride they feel for their lost loved ones. I'd like her to experience even a fraction of the hurt those kids in the sixties and seventies felt when she scorned them.<br /><br />Maybe then she could be forgiven, maybe then I would believe her apology is heartfelt. But she never will because the same poison in her heart that caused her to turn your back on your country then, will lead her to abandon again the good men who defend it. Any remorse she feels now is not due to a change of heart, its because her looks have faded and time and fame have passed her by. Now all she has left to peddle are memories and she figures they will sell better if there is a sugar coating of false contrition on top of them. <br /><br />I'm not fooled and neither are those who fought the Vietnam War. Those who wore the uniform will remember her and her actions until the day she dies.
