Yo, Norton. I'm not going to get into a spitting contest here on this issue but you got me all wrong. I lost 8 members of my samll graduating class of Massanutten Military Academy. These kids were my friends. I lost a cousin and have another one come home without a right leg.

During the Vietnam War, I was involved in a rock and roll club in Richmond and we let it be known that folks from Camp Lee were welcome and we had serivce folks in there every weekend.

My absolute best friend, whoes party I played last montyh in Virginia Beach, is a guy I met the week he returned from Nam after his tour in ther USMC.

So you've got the wrong guy, pal. I never once blamed one person who went into the armed services for a lousy foriegn policy that several Presidents had a hand in.

My point is that the folks who sit around in their comfy war rooms and make decisions about going to war are the folks that happen to be furthest from the battle fields. And by in large, that goes for their kids too.

Maybe you should reread the original post, Steve...
