If you volunteered for the military during those days, you were enabling the slaughter of SE Asians, even if you were stationed in Germany, Alabama, or Washington, D.C. If you really wanted to serve your country during those dark times, you could have become a fireman, a teacher, a social worker, et cetera. How did I "enable" the killing of Asians when I was sitting in the North atlantic on a Coast Guard cutter? Were the Vietcong cruising around there in diesel subs or were they cleverly disguised as the airliners we tracked flying overhead? |
