I agree. It was the most difficult part of the War. I blame it on feckless politicians who were afraid to speak out against the treatment of the military who were just instruments in carrying out national policy. We had a draft, which meant that many service personnel were not there willingly. It was easier politically to pander to the anti-war movement.

I blame the politicians for telling the military how to fight a war

I blame those at home like the Clinton's and Jane Fonda on how our military was treated.

There was a draft during WWII .. there were folks that weren't thrilled to fight in that war also ... but our country never spat on the troops

I agree, Ronald Reagan helped bring honor back to our country and most of all to our military
