What? You're feeling regrets over your participation in a really stupid
war that killed a million SE Asians?

Harry, I have a cousin who's name is on "The Wall"


Should I feel *for some odd reason, that his service to this country
should be held in contempt and dishonor?


Herring is alive (sort of), and he and several others here act as if
their participation in that war somehow changed it from a bloody awful
mistake to something honorable. Well, it wasn't. It was an abomination.
There was nothing honorable about that war. Nothing. We supported a
series of corrupt dictators and we killed a lot of people.

But, there were many who served with honor in that abomination of a war.
I have no reason to think your cousin was not among these.

The question I posed was whether Herring was now feeling regret over his
participation in that abominable war.

Why do you not think that John served with honor?
