It's interesting that 28 years after the war, we finally have articles that discuss what our "leaders" were doing while other young men did their duty fighting for their country... The leftwing has always viewed Vietnam as their "intellectual" property, to be used as they see fit. If you fled to Canada, and it serves their purpose - you're a hero. If you went and fought, and it serves their purpose - you're a hero.
....the ironic thing..is that you were not considered a hero when you returned from VN.
