I am sick of these V.N. vets (and the corrupt mob who manipulate them) who deny reality. I was there, I fought in VN, my friends died and anyone who denies atrocities and war crimes were committed by the US is a lying fool or self deluded. EVERY WAR brings atrocities. The purpose of war is to induce young men to become temporarily insane and psychotic - to kill other young men for no reason except self preservation. Any damn fool who thinks GI's die for God, Mom, and Apple Pie is a clueless asshole. Sometimes this mass murder can be excused if a war is fought for national survival but the VN War was a total useless waste of lives - just like the Iraq Fiasco. Now it is revealed by McNamara (that old war criminal and mass murderer) that they knew back in 1963 the war was a lost cause but they didn't know how to back out without being 'politically embarrased'. Thus thousands of GI's died and millions of Vietnamese died so as to avoid 'political embarrasment.' The EXACT SAME SCAM is being played out in the Iraq quagmire. 60,000 Americans killed and over TWO MILLION Vietnamese killed for nothing. I have no love for Kerry - he is as corrupt and hopeless as Bush. However attacking Kerry for telling the truth about VN is idiotic. A plot by the mindless, knee-jerk idiots who automatically support the Bush Chicken Hawks. These Bush Girlie Men who prance around in flight jump suits think they can suck the blood of America's young men and women for political advantage.
