i didn't say anything about vietnam or korea, and i'm not interested in thread drift. and this is why we're in the situation we're in today. people start a debate about a real threat, and inevitably the debate drifts off to topics that will do nothing to help people become more aware of the 800 pound gorilla sitting in the room with us right now. don't go down that road, because the ease with which Feds can get taps without warrants should send bolts of electricity down the spines of everyone on this board.
