I hadn't realized that I had insulted you - but the lag time between responses precluded me from seeing what you said before I had already sent my next and admittedly impatient response - so I apologize.

I am, even after 54 years - very easily bruised when it comes to speaking against "our war". I lost too many friends to count and I took nearly a year in the hospitals to recover from my own wounds. I can only imagine what could have happened if our government had truly gotten behind us and convinced more of our able-bodied men to join us in our fight.

Sorry, buddy.

I noted earlier that I did not wish to continue our conversation on this matter. I will cancel that, and instead thank you for your post #33 to me. Your clarification was moving, and makes sense. Best wishes.
