What crap! I am a Viet Nam vet. The only ones who 'failed us' during the Viet Nam war (and the Iraqi war) are the mendacious sociopathic Presidents and politicians who dragged the nation into unwarranted corrupt wars against our national interest and national security. These lying politicians killed 50,000 GI's in V.N. and 1000 (so far) in Iraq while horribly wounding many more thousands. They killed millions of Vietnamese and (so far) thousands of Iraqis. It weakened the nation and its institutions as all corrupt wars eventually do. I dispise Kerry and loathe Bush. Kerry is an unprincipled power seeker, Bush - a mass murderer. Bush, like Johnson betrayed the nation by bringing the country to war under false pretenses. Both deserve impeachment, conviction and long term imprisonment. The mindless idiots who give these political gangsters support and comfort are traitors. flw www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
