Yes it is an appropriate answer. I had several friends who died in VN.
So what. They're dead, I think of them often, she stood up for what she
believed in. I didn't agree with it at the time, but that's life, and that's
what makes this an free and open society. I'm certain that LBJ and
his generals had a lot more to do with death and destruction than Jane
and Tom.

Just because someone named spiker posts a message, doesn't mean
I have to be believe him or be sympathetic to what he posts.

That has to qualify as the most callous posting to the group in some time.

Though I served during wartime I wasn't in a war zone and never had the
experience of watching compatriots killed by enemy action. But I had an
uncle in WWII who did, and who suffered recurring nightmares about it his
entire life. Regardless of one's political views, his heart must go out to
those who have lived through such an experience. "Get over it" isn't an
answer.

That got two of us killed and two others "disappeared" when we hoped
she
would tell our families that we were alive.

Three wives and four children were directly effected by Hanoi Jane's
collaboration.

Years just don't soften some things.
