Perhaps you should be a little less patronizing . I have nothing but respect for veterans but whilst we are in a war against an evil enemy at the moment stirring up division over the past is not something I am going to be a party of. We failed in our ultimate objective in Vietnam. That is basically how i have always viewed it . Given what a poor and repressive nation Vietnam is now I believe the enemy ultimately had a bigger failure. We were always noble in our motives there. You should not arrogantly criticize people for not caring about issues but show them why they should take an interest.

If you think that was arrogant and patronizing, you ain't seen anything yet! I really could care less if you want to educate yourself or not. If you wish to remain ignorant, that's your perogotive.

Personally I think you are the rude one to insinuate that no one should care about correcting the falsehoods of Viet Nam because you don't. Many here at FR care very much. If you aren't interested, then go away.

"Does it really matter what happened so long ago ?"

The TRUTH always matters, regardless of how long ago it was. Documenting the Truth for future generations is of paramount importance, as future national endeavors are reinforced by past events.

America didn't lose the Vietnam war. America was sold out by what we are now learning were communist sympathizers Those communist sympathizers, such as john kerry worked hand in hand with the North Vietnamese communists to defeat this country.

Some of those same sympathizers tried to do the very same thing to this country during the Iraq war. They lost this time because of the Internet. They couldn't get away with their lies this time.
