I think this is worth revisiting. The left should not be able to say the word Vietnam without hanging their heads in shame.

75 million!! Meanwhile, the DLP floods the news with outrage over prisoners in Iraq being made to wear panties on their heads. How loathsome is the MSM!

Having lived my entire life in Massachusetts and having strolled many times through Cambridge and Brookline (proud home of Mike Dukakis)I can assure you that leftists in this country can't even spell the word "shame",let alone experience it.

But, of course, the left is as proud of what they did to Vietnam as they are of anything in American history.

One can only observe with wonderment the strange workings of the leftist mind.

I served two combat tours in Vietnam and don’t regret one moment that I spent there doing my small part to try and prevent this outcome. I’d do it again, knowing the result and in full knowledge of the futility of my efforts because failure continues to be an abomination beyond my ability to accept. I expect that many, if not most Vietnam veterans feel as I do about this.

And Sen. TED KENNEDY (D) & college bud Rep. JOHN TUNNEY (D) just knew better all along, not to cut the funding for the Free to fight for their own Freedom with. Especially since together they toured Military Operations all over a then Free South Vietnam in late 1965 at the very beginning of the Vietnam War.

See 5th Photo down:

They then conspired together with the Soveit Union to defeat Presidenta REAGAN’s War on Communism.

...the Enemy is now Within
...and always has been.

Those of us that fought there will never forget the good people we fought alongside and tried to save.

We will also never forget the treasonous left and their friends in the press.

God forbid that we allow this to happen again to this generation and this war.

Thanks for posting. I was 15 when it was originally published and never got to see such insight before.
