You cut an past that post from a Jane Fonda Rant ?
Not true of the memories I have of same era. Served from 72 to 94 active duty and 6 after that is reserves.
Not what I observed or knew as a teen in the sixties or the following decades in the company of veterans from that war as I served my country.
My observations,experiences first hand.....not an opinion.
I was there ‘67-’93 and in a minor way he is semi-correct. We has MacNamara’s 100,000, a bunch of Cat IV”s mostly totally unsuited to military service. Some did ok but most got out and many became the bums they were on the way to being before being in service.
(for those who don’t know a Category IV is someone who is regarded as mentally Incapable of serving in the military.)
