you should know then that ending it quickly is not going to happen as a Vietnam vet (it’s before my time) but that conflict lasted many years and drained much resources
That is correct. And split the country big time. I can’t tell you how it makes you feel when you are wearing the uniform and walking through an airport while people curse you, sometimes even try to spit on you. If I wasn’t afraid of court martial, I would have decked a few of these 130 pound wussies.
