TBogg: "Yeah. I fought in the big one....Well, it was big to me."

The American Legion's High Poofty Grand Jabberwock Thomas Cadmus says:

"The American Legion will stand against anyone and any group that would demoralize our troops, or worse, endanger their lives by encouraging terrorists to continue their cowardly attacks against freedom-loving peoples..."

[...]

"For many of us, the visions of Jane Fonda glibly spouting anti-American messages with the North Vietnamese and protestors denouncing our own forces four decades ago is forever etched in our memories. We must never let that happen again….

Cadmus is a United States Army veteran where he served as an Armored Reconnaissance Specialist from 1965 to 1967. He left the Army as a Specialist 5th (E-5). During his time in the Army he was stationed at Fort Knox, Ky. and Munich, Germany.

Soooo...any lessons he learned about Vietnam during his two years of service he obviously learned from afar. Or, to put it another way:

Jane Fonda spent more time in Vietnam than Thomas Cadmus did.

Lesson learned.
