American Chicken

When our age group was being drafted for military duty in the late '60s many if not most of our peers were able to evade the draft with college exemptions or psych exemptions or going to Canada. Many of them claimed they were too peaceful and loving to be able to become soldiers, but they typically dropped their hippy facade when the war was finally over. Those of us who did submit to the draft referred to these people as American Chickens, and we referred to the peace sign which many of them sported as The Track of the American Chicken. The Vietnamese communists were indeed sneaky killers and chances of being killed were high for draftees. These dirty gooks were determined to kill us for communism and they had heavy duty backing from Russian and Chinese commies so we really didn't blame the American Chickens for wanting to stay out of it.

Bob: You're about my age, Frank; so what did you do during the war to the death with international communism in the late '60s?
Frank: I was one of the American Chickens.

vietnam

The word "To Vietnam", a transitive verb, is used to describe a specie of treacherous conduct used by a weak and beggarly foe to defeat a stronger and more righteous foe. The Republic of Vietnam was a party, with the US, to the SEATO treaty which said that if any party outside the treaty attacked any member, that the other treaty members would help the attacked member. The US was therefore bound by duty and honor to enter the war upon the invasion of the south by the north. North Vietnam intended to and tried hard to impose a communistic form of government on the south by military force. North Vietnam was the point soldier in a proxy effort by communism aparatchicks to rule the entire world, but they could get any traction at all while American solders like me were there. In 1973 the commies "Vietnamed" or tricked the USA into leaving RVN. The commies promised that if we left Vietnam they would never again invade the south with military force. We left in 1973 and by 1975 the commies were openly breaking the Paris treaty.

We can't beat you, numbah 10 GI, because you are too strong of a military force, and we are only weak and beggarly slope headed gooks, so we will VIETNAM YOU.
