I was in high school, an endangered species in that when the anti-Vietnam protests were going on, I was calling for the unlimited bombing of the North, the mining of Haiphong Harbor, and not a negotiated settlement, but for military victory over Hanoi, because the U.S. was kicking their Commie asses all over the landscape. Needless to say, I was not very popular in my extreme liberal, dope-smoking, flag-burning, hippie-infested secondary school, but I didn't back down.

I saw all that spin from the alphabet networks regarding Kent State, and the Communist fifth column operating on our home soil, and this article puts the truth out there, exposes the traitors, and sets history straight.

And thank YOU for your service!

Yes, thank you for your service. I had a best friend that enlisted in '66, right after we graduated. He was the closest thing to a brother I ever had. After 4 years in the service, Airborne 101st, he came home and started to college, married, divorced, and committed suicide.

I think he was made to feel like such an outsider by all those asses at university, that he just couldn't deal with it. Being married to a 'Nam vet, myself, I remember how they were treated. I've always felt responsible in a way. If I had just been there more....
