I think the 50,000 dead boomers were made so in part by the enemy with a big assist from the leftist boomers stateside in the press.

====================================================

Let's see, the Tet Offensive, after which 'greatest generation' icon Walter Cronkite announced that the war was lost, took place in February 1968. At that time the oldest boomer was 22. By the time the 'greatest generation' abandoned Viet Nam the oldest boomer was 27. The tens of thousands of boomers killed in VN (avg age - 19) died in a war started, mis-managed and then abandonded by 'greatest generation' leaders elected by 'greatest generation' voters. You have opinions but they are not supported by the calendar or the facts.

I was thinking more about Nam, where many were lost that didn't need to be and where a nation was abandoned because the will of the people was destroyed by the press which were mostly all leftists and boomers, especially in the print press and at that time people read the news.
