Counts to me, Thank You.

It is really funny when you think about it the American Soldier (All Services) Certainly one of the very best trained and deadliest creations known to mankind is also one of the most compassionate we have started orphanages sort of on the cuff at times. Paid for Children and Adults to be flown stateside for medical treatment unavailable in their home countries. Build Schools and other things on our down time and this sort of thing has happened forever in Nam, Iraq, Japan, Germany, France, China, everywhere and for as long as we the United States of America has been fighting war. Then John Effin Kerry and a few other's of his cowardly ilk tell some people that we kill babies and we are instantly know as baby killers go figure?

"Counts to me, Thank You.'

No, let me thank you.

That was probably October/November, 1971, at Penn State, the main campus. I was still wearing my state-side fatigues alot. Stopped wearing them after that once folks figured out that I was not making a fashion or political statement, but it was all I had to wear.

And what you said is right. Most of us in my unit helped out at a local orphanage. We had frequent collections for various Vietnamese staff who were in difficulty.

In addition, while most of us saw the crazy rules of engagement for what they were, I think most of us saw the cruelty of the NVA and VC towards their own people as well as us. The futility of it all was primarily due to political interference. Lord knows I had my share of local leadership problems too (I was just an enlisted guy..19 years old and an E-5).

Anyway, the disconnect between reality and what the left likes to romanticize about their so called anti-war activities, I think, is a lost cause. I will, however, correct them when able.

I would spit on Jane if given the opportunity. Whatever the legal consequences might be, would be worth it.
