YOU ARE FIRED!
You are not an employee anymore.
You are not a family friend.
I’d like to leave you with one thought, but I’m not sure you have anywhere to put it!
This is where Time traveling Sandy’s Trainer reports that the Gulf of Tonkin incident was two separate navel encounters between the Us and North Vietnam that led to the gulf of Tonkin Resolution giving the US justification to escalate military actions without declaring war.
, I wanted to say I got youre subtle meaning there Lewreader—-johnson & mcnamara are responsible not only for those 58000 lives but hundreds of thousands of vietnamese lives…….
I was thinking,during all the hoopla about the 40th anniversary of the moon landings and how we ‘came in peace for all mankind’—meanwhile we were bombing the living s..t out of a backward country expending untold lives and money and all for nothing…..they were bragging about how all the world was watching on tv as neil came down the ladder— I can think of a few people at that time that werent so worshipful of the red white & blue…..
the world must be puzzled about america…..we can do so much good and yet sometimes………..
SusanWobb are you talking about the golf of tonkin the uss forstall my friend noman was on the boat when it the bomb went off he swears that a russian trowler was in the bay and set the bomb off using some kind of electronical devise to set the bomb off, he still ptsd over it but is a great guy and better story teller.
Hey Joe Allen, Thanks for posting “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” it has been a long time since I had memorized it in the 8th grade and I couldn’t recite it very well now at all.
Maybe the rest of you would like to debate Lincoln’s “Spot Resolution” on the start of the Mexican War too? That’s why we will never get to use a time machine if there ever is such a thing. Politicians wouldn’t like it, but history book publishers would. The content would keep changing.

Hey, Time Traveling Sandy’s Trainer, if you get a chance, could you go check out that “Gulf of Tonkin incident”? What actually happened there? Thanks.

ps. I’m sure the REAL Daddy Warbucks doesn’t want to fire you. Pay no attention to “memos” from the faker who posts here..

Mr Was has actually gone backward in time from the Lincoln assassination to the Crimea. Next stop the Alamo?
