VietNam was a national nightmare.
I did not serve during the VietNam war, due to my age.
I did participate in the aftermath and clean-up.All of my instructors and superiors were Veterans of a war they were forbidden to win.
Part of the follow-up operations included a USA military unwritten policy of "Never Again" attitude.
I was willing and able to rain death and destruction on a level most people cant even accurately grasp the concept of.
It was called the Cold War.
We won that war, lest people forget a truth.
I dont have any experience in asking a 'Nam vet his/her opinion of that "war" that I am willing to share.
Hate Nixon if you must, but Nixon was the man who ended the VietNam war.
A "French" induced venture.
