Real Men Aren’t Poseurs

VietNam.  The very word seems to cause palpable discomfort to many individuals.  That terrible war.  As if all wars aren’t terrible.  What troubles me about individuals referencing VietNam, specifically individuals such as John Kerry, is that when referencing VietNam they do so in the manner of what I would call trolling for a “sympathy fuck.”  If you need an elaboration of the definition of that let me know.  With that in mind I point you to two separate posts.

First, the Emperor Darth Misha I on John Kerry speaking Saturday (yesterday).

Second, McQ at Questions and Observations, in a post titled Let me introduce you to a real hero.

  1. Great line.  I mentioned your quote, but your trackback feature doesn’t seem to be working.  Or, at any rate, the trackback didn’t take. 

    Just letting you know.
