wow! happy anniversay . Everybody's on this thread . The uniniformed, uniformed, well intentioned, politically correct , forgiving , forgived, guiltfull, guiltless, gutless, and a few that are right on. If you weren't born yet at that time, then everything you learned about it in high school and college was probably wrong. If you were there, you know no explanations are necessary. Fadac, right on. If you were against the war (as any sane person), and you went to jail for you belief, you are a hero. If you went to war and did your duty not for your country, or theirs, but for your fellow grunts , keeping each other alive, you are also a hero. If you ran off to Canada, as a deserter, or draft dodger, enjoy the winters you a**hole cowards. Veterans dont have to justify it or apologize. excuse me , I need a valium now.
