Thread Name: BS: Were Vietnam veterans spat upon?
Subject: RE: BS: Were Vietnam veterans spat upon?
Right tatics, Wrong tatics. Who cares? It's too late to change it. Perhaps if the US & Britton had gone after Hitler in 1939, when Hitler went into Austria, that might have been the end of it. But no, nobody did a damn thing, so the war was on. Perhaps if we didn't go in VN, that war might have grown too, relighting Korea, Japan, etc. Then we would all be sitting on our big proud rear ends saying "Why didn't we get involved?" You can't win, no matter what you do, someone will find fault.

How do I as a vet feel about protesters? You will be surprised to hear, I'm 100% behind protestors right to protest. And I'll defend to the death the support of that right. Sometimes it's hard, but as far as I'm concerned everyone gets a say.

Those that decided to go to Canada. OK, if that is what one had to do, fine. However I feel that they should stay there. (Remember, Canada sent troops to VN too, as a peace keeping force. I think they were there about three months.)
