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.


I understood *exactly*what you wrote. *My comment stands.


Harry has a *way* with words. *He also assumes everyone interprets them has
he does.
At some point, a gifted writer (or speaker) needs to understand that *that*
isn't necessarily so.

But Harry's neither a writer OR gifted.
