Stop bragging about your colonel daddies. You have to accept the facts
that all your daddies became famous and rich with big bucks from VP and
the CIA because those uneducated and unselfish people like myself, my
father, two brothers, whole village of uncles, cousins, friends who
stood in front and protect the real war in the battle field. Your
colonel daddies were so lucky and got to live until today for you to
brag about, but my brothers, four unlces, and two cousins were not
lucky and got killed. Did your colonel daddies care? Hell, no. Each
of your colonel daddies had a home in Long Cheng, and Vientiane with at
least two young wives. You guys drank exported beers, wines, and ate
roasted pigs, broiled chickens, and sirloin beef in your dinners. We
ate zaub ntsuab ntxuag ntsev in the front battle fields. While you
drove nice cars, motor cycles with your long hair like gansters
cruising in Vientiane and Long Cheng, all of us stayed hungry soaked
with rain in the jungle. Did we have opportunity like you? Hell, no.
Were we equal? Hell, no. Back in the village, we barely had enough
rice to feed the families, and save enough little monthly income to buy
a pair of clothes for the kids. So, stop talking about your hearted
and brave big shot daddies. I don't care who your daddies were then.
You should talk and write about those who sucrefied most.
