Somebody made the observation this week on the Rush Thread that once Iraq is liberated and stable, Vietnam will FINALLY be over for the USA. Quite possible one of the most profoundly insightful things I have heard said here.
It's interesting because we had a garage sale this weekend and yesterday had some people attend our sale -- the man was a vietnam vet and had no legs, had a steel rod for one arm that he used to push himself around on this rolling cart thing (with his dog in his 'lap') and he was blind on the side of the missing arm (prosthetic eye).. this may had the greatest humor about him and I can't begin to describe how I felt seeing this man and how he is dealing with his life... his grown daughter (who he was bragging about) and his wife who was from Costa Rica and he was full of telling us how wonderful and talented she is and how she worked in garment sweat shops there when he met her...
Seeing this man and his family and listening to the crap the left spews daily just doesn't compute in my mind and makes me all the more proud of our soldiers.
