“I was drafted into the Vietnam fiasco and I feel like anyone who could have avoided that political war is OK in my book . Were the lives of 58,900 service members worth the 10 years we spent there only to surrender . When it was over I worried so much for the good folks in the South and the Cambodians who suffered immensely for supporting the USA .”
An utter waste of good men and treasure. Started and escalated by the Democrat Machine.
I enlisted at the beginning of the end (1972) and made a career of the service. The All Volunteer Army (and all services) was a good start.
Even mow, the Draft both as law and as a administration, an abomination left over from W.Wilson (A racist Dem of the first stripe) still exists. END the draft. NOW.
After all, slavery was abolished, was it not?

I’m completely with you on the OK part.
One thing ,,,, The service to my country made me aware of how lucky I really was to be born here ,, the greatest place in the world . At 19 I was truly in culture shock when I landed in Nam . We are so fortunate .
