Wilton, 
 I am respectful and appreciative of all who have served, especially in 
political wars such as Viet Nam.  I was lucky.  I was in college and sitting in 
the student union when the draft lottery was taken for all the birthdays.  My 
numbered was 332, my older brother was 289, and my oldest brother was no longer 
in physical condition for active duty (he was Army reserve).  I watched guys 
crying because their numbers were low and they knew they were going.  I took 
the offer of 1A for 6 months and then they put me in a pool which meant there 
would be all out WWIII before I would be called.  
 In my opinion, and it's just mine, WWII was the last foreign war that the 
USA should have been involved in.  If someone were attacking the USA, I'd 
gladly pick up my guns and go kill them.  And I say kill them because that's 
what guns do and that's what I'd do if I had to pick up my guns. 
Again, with deep respect, thanks to all who have served. 
Best Wishes, 
Roger

I join Wilton in that assessment.

Seems to me, WW2 was the last war America fought to win. All since have
been police actions . I've always had serious heart burn about being the
worlds policemen, on our tax nickle. WW2 is also the last war the Generals
ran... all since have been run by politicians and news media driven public
opinion. Another set of heart burns for me.

All said... myself included... some member or members of my family have
been present in uniform at every dustup America has been in since 1776.
