You're right. Some of the dummy wannabes don't realize that the minimum age for a Vietnam vet today is about 47-48 years old.
In fact, the youngest volunteer who could possibly have served in Vietnam would have turned 47 last week.
Saigon fell to the almost exactly Communists 30 years ago - April 30/May 1 1975.
An imaginary volunteer who theoretically signed up on his 17th birthday on April 30th and was magically deployed to South Vietnam the same day would have been 47 last week.
"Communists almost exactly"
