You can not understand, you were not raised with honor or integerity,
that is obvious.
Yada, yada, yada.
There was nothing "honorable" about our nation's massive involvement in
Vietnam. Individuals who went there, willingly or otherwise, may have
acted honorably (or not), but the "mission" itself was a fraud. When the
United States was defending a government against whom Buddhist monks
protested by setting themselves on fire, its mistakes, at long last,
should have become apparent.
At the governmental and military institutional level, our involvement in
Vietnam mostly was an exercise in deception and corruption.
Honorable or not, how do you think your words sound to the Vets that served?
Give it a break.
Read for content, quacker. My comment was about the government of this
nation and its military institutions, not about individual service
personnel.
