It was a wasteful, unessessary war littered with the broken bodies of men who, IMHO, died in vain.
I think you've said enough to all the VN veterans here with your disparaging posts.
“God knows, I salute all the vets who have sacrificed for this country. That does not change my opinion about the folly of Vietman.
It was a wasteful, unessessary war littered with the broken bodies of men who, IMHO, died in vain.”
Your original expression was: "56,000 dead. For nothing."
You label answering the call of our nation and making the ultimate sacrifice “nothing”? Seems to me that you are reluctant to admit that your statement was rather cruel and stupid.
If you meant, as in your reply to me, that these patriots died in vain, then that presupposes that you have a clairvoyant view of history as it unfolds, knowing that during that period some goal in your mind was to be achieved.
I can understand those that did not agree that we should have gone to the Nam. That is a different discussion, not one that is germane to the manor in which you expressed yourself, which is, in essence, calling all those that went there, and especially those that died, fools.
Some advice jerk, just drop out of site for a while before you really start pissing people off.
STFU!
You were warned more than once.
Don't badmouth service veterans.
You deserve a hosing and or banning.
JLO
I salute all the vets who have sacrificed
