An interesting post juxtaposed to the one above featuring the commie aiding Bob Dylan and Joan Baez.

How quickly we forget the sacrifices made by those who were in the arena of battle while those at home filled the coffers of the anti war protest singing destroyers and enemy abetters.

Regularly these pages feature a leader of that dastardly traducement who were in m major way responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of US troops.

The excuse that he later played folk songs is akin to saying Adolf Eichmann just raised sunflowers after WWII.

He made millions on the anti-war circuit and cost the lives of tens of thousands of men. Men he could never be the equal of.

He was there at the inception filling his coffers with blood money and helping Uncle Ho.

How old are you BD and have you ever served in the Armed Forces?

Or are you a generation removed from Vietnam apologist for Bob Dylan? It's not a tough question.

Buddy,

You know darn well the schism already exists. In fact the fractures are more numerous today than at any time I can recall.

Today's kerfuffle is Bob Dylans's apologists for his anti-war participation verses someone who was there in Vietnam for the original production, not knowledge out of a movie or a book, or off the inside cover of a CD. And I was in my late teens ,early twenties when I witnesses the Dylan Baez et . al. anti war circus make it's concert rounds, fomenting anti war unrest and making beaucoup money from it.

Today I can't even get a straight answer out of any of the blogwriters here on their ages or military experience, if any.

It matters how they acquired their Dylan idolatry. If it came after, years after, Vietnam, then they cannot possibly know the tenor of those times, and that counts for a great deal. Nor can they have any concept of how much he and his ilk hurt the serviceman fighting that tough, tough war.

Kind words Buddy and I know the sentiment is real.

But how does one compartmentalize one of the defining moments of their life to satisfy those who weren't there and perhaps weren't even born? To me that isn't compartmentalizing it's capitulating to people who idolize an individual who cost the lives of good men through his active lyrics and passive-aggressive duplicity in an anti war campaign.

When the leading North Vietnamese general as well as a host of historians and North Vietnamese diplomats agree that North Vietnam was ready to quit the war just at the time when the protesters crank up the volume and prolonged the war by giving comfort to the enemy....so they kept on fighting .......in my world you don't forget or forgive that type of action ....we have it today in our Code Pinks and Cindy Sheehans and I despise them as well.

Enemy identification is critical in survival and the left is my enemy. Bob Dylan, back in the day was in that camp. He may not have been at headquarters but he was in camp.

Nope no capitulation via compartmentalization ......Europe tried that..they compartmentalized the Saar, the Sudetenland and on and on until it became too much.

I won't allow a rewrite of history I lived and help write with my own blood toil tears and sweat. You're asking too much.
