My father never discussed Korea and I don't know of anyone who fought in WWII. <br /><br />I suppose such an act would align us with wolves who mark their territory. Perhaps, by peeing on the person you just killed in time of war may be saying to that person that he is now owned by YOU.Bobbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886753914272617994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445002922464265904.post-39496629329195999362012-01-19T08:15:04.788-08:002012-01-19T08:15:04.788-08:00Very good overview, but I think you pulled it toge...Very good overview, but I think you pulled it together too fast. We should be reminded that the urination thing dates back to World War II, the Korean War and especially Vietnam. It's not new. If for no other reason it served as a stress reliever for the snipers and provided a little humor. These guys probably heard their fathers relate such stories. Unfortunately, they are going to be made an example of because of YouTube.Oldsalt553000https://www.blogger.com/profile/16400945167368925294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445002922464265904.post-2225414739195519712011-12-09T05:56:52.649-08:002011-12-09T05:56:52.649-08:00That's the first thing I said when I heard Gin...That's the first thing I said when I heard Gingrich's comments about poor children: 'what is he talking about?' The majority of poor families in this country DO work, and work very heard, just to scratch out a life of some sort. And most want their children to get an education and have a better life. Is working as a janitor or office go-fer going to help them do that??? No!<br /><br />On the other hand, I do think it is a good idea for many kids to work part-time, starting fairly young, to complement schooling with a taste of what jobs are like when you do NOT have an education. <br /><br />Your family is one I've been absolutely privileged to know in my lifetime, and I find it insulting for Mr. Gingrich to make such sweeping generalizations and propose such inappropriate non-solutions to a problem he just doesn't understand!<br /><br />Mr. Gingrich is a walking disaster in my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
