frick the Vietnam war.

Has history proven any war in U.S. history to be more worthless?

I can understand him being criticized at the time, due to misguided patriotic fervor, but in hindsight?

He should be lauded.

Did I say, frick the Vietnam war? If not, frick it.

That reminds me of the urban legend that some people avoided the draft by having "frick the war" tattooed on the side of their right hand so if they were drafted then every time they had to salute an officer the officer would see "frick the war".
