I was but knee high to a grasshopper when the last bird took off from Saigon, but even then I knew what had happened wasn't good. As the years went on and I learned about Vietnam, and what our men went through, the more convinced I became that it WAS the good fight, just like WW II.
We went there not for material gain, or land, or colonization. We went there to keep other men free. Those men (and more than a few women)who fought there and came home to an ungrateful nation had every reason to be bitter, as demonstrations mounted and foul epithets were hurled at them. But in the main they were not bitter. They went home and took up jobs, started families, and made this nation better.
Then there were the ones like Kerry. Forever embittered, they undertook the mission to bring the US down. They believed that fighting 'glorious' communism was wrong, and our nation had to pay for it. And now that SOB wants to be our President?! I say him nay, and I will make my voice heard on 2 Nov 04!
Thanks for your service, gents. You set the standard.
