Subject: RE: BS: Were Vietnam veterans spat upon?
So, McGrath of Harlow, I assume you feel the U.S. has no business sending troops to Bosnia either, es so? And following the same line of reasoning, American troops should never have been sent to Korea in the 1950s. In 1941, the Empire of Japan bombed Pear Harbor and that caused the U.S. to declare war on Japan. Did that justify our declaring war on Germany? Should American troops have been sent to Europe?

There were a lot of isolationists in the U.S. that would have been very happy had we sat out WW2. Don't think that would have been possible though myself.

Since you have such strong views about the SE Asia conflict, I just wondered how you feel about the other situations.
