Eagle.... you need to stop believing everything you hear in the press.
I know I do not believe half of the thing I heard about our troops on 'nam.
But it seems you measure everything against 'nam, so I am not sure what to say.
All I can say at this point.... don't believe everything you read in the press....America is still making efforts to recover those left in .Nam. Lots of money too. Unjust? hell no. But I don't think every war or battle is related to 'Nam. 'Nam happened. THIS war is happening. There is no comparisson. Two differnt battles. Two different administrations. Two different mindsets.
Now, do not think I dont give a shit. My Grandfather served in WW2, my Dad and Uncles in 'Nam, and myself in the *cold war*. I know what others gave...... stop comparrining it, IT IS NOT THE SAME.
'Nam sucked. The troops where treated very, very badly when they cam home. In fact, some should be considered traitors... as I feel they are.
Let us remember the past... but do noy compare todays battles to yesterdays. What is the point? ? ?
The fact is... our soldiers today liberated a POW. Let us be happy. Forget the propoganda for a day or two.
