This from a John who was solicited and accepted by the U.S. Army to go

Harry, that statement is unbelievable.

Here's a hint, Tim. Herring spends most of his day here trying to insult
me, directly or (his specialty) indirectly. I'm merely returning the
favor. I haven't noticed *you* going after Herring or any of his pack of
juvenile jackals for insulting me.

I have no idea what Herring did in Vietnam. He could have been handing
out soap, for all I care.

Harry, I suppose that when I see a statement like the one you made, I
become rather dissapointed. if you and John want to sling salvo's back
and forth I suppose that's your prerogative. I don't' get involved
with playing tag. But the reason for my comment is I do know a little
about the military, and I don't believe anyone was sent to SE Asia for
the sole purpose of killing women and children. Of course there will
always be the self appointed glory seekers like Calley, but they are
so few far and in between, and are such a low number that they are
practically unrecognizable by the vast arm of the military branches,
and I would think he'd have much more honor than that. I don't know
what the total sum of O-5 Herrings involvement was in SE Asia, but I'm
fairly sure that involving the death[s] of innocent women and children
wasn't a consideration nor an option of his deployment.

I have a brother-in-law and two cousins that served in SE Asia. My
bro-in-law is a ward of the VA and has been for several years now. I
also have a distant cousin(2nd, once removed) who's name is on "The
Wall", and I'm not saying that to mean really anything extra, but I
have a sentiment for those who have served in times past, present and
future.
