THE VIET NAM WAR...PBS DOCUMENTARY, MUST WATCH

THE VIET NAM WAR... PBS

THE VIET NAM WAR....PRESIDENT TRUMP WATCH THIS...

This moving telling of a history most young people don't know and others want to forget, over 500,000 soldiers lived through and their families can't forget (58,220 fatal casualties and unknown MIAs) - is a must watch view of American War History - as we have President Trump and his supporters, who see "America First" and 'Our Country - Right or Wrong" is a disastrous position to take in the 21st Century.

We were defeated in Viet Nam... (but now it is a trading partner, aren't Trump's very expensive ties made there ???) because the Vietnamese didn't want us there...Iraqi - the people don't want us there... Afghanistan (16 yrs) the people don't want us there... Negotiations may seem weak to Trump - who said repeatedly "I am the best deal maker in the World" but hasn't made a deal to make the USA safer or the World a safer place to live.

WAR...what is it good for....Absolutely Nothing...

The Viet Nam War documentary on PBS is a stunning light shown on the shadows and darkness of the American Government and its leaders and lessons should be learned. We need to hold leaders accountable !!! We need leaders who can listen to the Truth even if they don't agree with it and take reasonable actions that make us all safer.
The Viet Nam War documentary is not an easy watch - if you can remember the War - it brings back long suppressed thoughts of where you were and what we you doing through this long bloody War - for those who fought it and their families it may be impossible to watch, but it should be celebrated that this War - has been remembered and put in a video form that future generations, can watch and hopefully learn from the lessons of history - so they don't repeat them - as WE have done.

Pure Michigan - Bad Law - Fireworks....
Two Michigan legislators (Abdullah Hammoud D-Dearborn and Brian Elder D-Bay City) are trying to fool, scam, mislead their constituents and Michigan residents by introducing HB 4924 to give more information to fireworks buyers and to protect children Their Bill is an attempt to do nothing but look like they are doing something while the whole Michigan Legislature does nothing to repeal the dangerous and deadly fireworks legislation they previously passed - to get tax dollars only !!!
See the photos of children who were near their parents house in Dearborn Heights but the parents were no where in sight as their children ignited dangerous fireworks in the street

LANSING, MI - Two state representatives are pushing for changes to the state's fireworks rules.
Rep. Abdullah Hammoud, D-Dearborn, introduced House Bill 4924. It would require those who sell fireworks to post a sign in a conspicuous place reminding buyers of any limitation on the hours and days of ignition, local ordinances regarding fireworks and limitations on using fireworks on others' property.
The sign would also have to include safety reminders like the prohibition of use by minors, limitations on the use of fireworks while under the influence of alcohol and a person's liability for damage or injury caused by fireworks.

"Throughout the summer, we received numerous constituent complaints about fireworks, and it is clear that reform is needed," Hammoud said. "The fireworks law is not likely to be repealed anytime soon, so let's make it safer. Our intent is to promote and increase the responsible use of fireworks."
Rep. Brian Elder, D-Bay City, is the sponsor of House Bill 4295. It would prohibit minors from discharging or using consumer fireworks without the presence of an adult.
"Michigan's fireworks law was changed in 2011 to allow adults to purchase more powerful fireworks," Elder said. "I can't think of one good reason why minors should be able to use these dangerous explosives without the supervision of an adult. Most importantly, this proposal aims to prevent injuries to our state's children as well as reduce property damage and wildfires."
