Yep. Nearly 9 million served during that war (overseas and stateside) and there’s about 6 million still alive. I’d think they’d have plenty to say about their status as warriors. Well at least the 40% or so that were actually stationed in Vietnam. Not counting the 58,000 that literally gave all. RIP.
In the late 60’s I had 6 cousins, 1 brother and an Uncle who served in Vietnam. There were 3 others including myself who were too young or in High school to serve. One lost his leg and arm usage, two others lost their livers to agent Orange. the other males learned to not trust the government, and raised kids that are fine working citizens. A few sexual deviants, one went to jail a few times, and a TRainwrexual. That is out of about 60 boomer gen, not counting spouses. Grandma had 9 kids, and the WW 2 gen had an average of 6 kids each.
Why do the children and grandchildren of us Boomers blame US for the crap THEY do, or their faults. Look in the mirror people.
