I already wrote them earlier..and am now getting ahold of their coporate office and their snail mail addy.
I saw this last night..and even though I am not a vet..I am a (sort of) Army wife and I thought it was plain rude and insensitive to everyone..especially the Vietnam vets..but truly everyone that cares anything about our military, and the men who so bravely serve.

Default I "be" makin' a phone call

in just a half second here.

How long will this shit go on? As long as the war is taught as a big loss and us as losers in our failing Government owned schools, and by assholes that work for Big T.V. who were probably long hairs in college who burned their draft cards and pissed up our legs.
I could not have said it better than my friend Packo. And I might add that most media/academic types are over- educated/brainwashed/with a driving desire to push their worldview/political/historical views on the rest of us poor ignorant peasants out here in the Heartland of America.

Ok everybody take a moment of your day walk out side your door look east but don't bow/head up and proud now/raise both hands in the air and fly a double California Howdy towards the A&E Office in NYC!!

And don't forget one thing. You don't need anyone to define who you are. You know who you are! These people and those like them do not deserve the space they are takin' up in your brain. It is much to valuable to waste on these talking heads. Peace! Arrow>>>>>>

Default Hoyin, Thanks for the email address

I sent A&E the following email:

The advertisement for the up coming "History of the Army" on the History channel states that the men of the Army were losers in the Vietnam War. If you check your history books you will find the Army was pulled out of Vietnam in 1973 and the war was lost in 1975. You who are advertising the show with these lies are the losers.
The politicians tied both of the military's hands behind their back with "limited Warfare" They never let the military fight to win, only to appease their constituents. If the Army had been free to fight a full scale war, they would have won, that is the simple fact.
I met your kind back in 1967 in Height Ashbury, they spit on me and called me baby burner. I met your kind again in 1968 when I went to the VFW and was told I was not welcome because I had not fought in a real foreign war. We were cursed, spit on, called many names, and treated as outcast.
Out of disgust for the way the American public treated we service men, I got out of the Navy after ten years of what I thought was my career field.
Time passed but we were never recognized for our service to county. We have always remained outcast, but the public did stop calling us names, or at least I thought they had. Now on National TV you call the Army Vietnam vets "losers".
I will not sink to your level and call you the names I would like to, but I will demand a public apology on National TV for your despicable act against the honor of those who died on the battle fields of Vietnam and for those who served honorably on those battle fields, only to return to an ungrateful country who honored traitors like Jane Fonda.

Again, don't believe it will do any good, but again it made me feel better to blast them a little.

Default My mail to them

For SHAME!..I am a disabled Vietnam veteran who,until now,has spent many hours viewing A&E and History Channel.No more..How dare you perpetuate the myth of the U.S.Army Veterans as losers!? You sure have used miles of footage of us in your programming over the years that has obviously endeared you to your sponsors,but now you have the audacity to label us as "LOSERS".As historians then,I`m sure you can identify and verify all the battles that we lost in the field?...Aw,c`mon...NAME ONE! Just as I suspected.Kiss my ass...On second thought,don`t....you people are not worthy....

Default Waitin' for an answer

I guess there "ain't" one. The phone number worked. But of course they are doing day hours only so I have to call them back Monday. I want to talk to someone. I have sent my share of e-mails off into the black hole of vet.com and never saw a response. I'm burned out with it. It won't matter to them what I say. But it will matter to me that I said it.
