WW II was a war of necessity and honor. The war against Vietnam was a war
of fraud, from beginning to end. While I know individual service personnel
acquitted themselves admirably in SE Asia, the more honorable choice would
have been to refuse to go.


40 year old post mortems are easy. Choices at the time were not. Many of
us that served thought we were doing the right thing.
Why do you insist on making that service less than honorable?

What part of our involvement in propping up dictators, using chemical
weapons, and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians was honorable?
Why did you think you were doing the right thing?

On the other hand, you've stated you think Palin is competent to step
into the oval office if McCain is elected and dies suddenly.
