serve, as you say two tours of duty that added up to MORE than four months?????? Didn't I hear that some time way back?
He wasn't the ONLY vet that came back protesting the shit that happend over there. CNN even had two heli pilots on interview several months ago. They humbly told their story, no gloat, no blame, on the massacre at Mai Lei where they flew over in thier craft with 18 men...I forget the mission...but they saw what was going on in the field below and saw from such a height so as to see the people running for their lives way in the distance as some of our soldiers (ordered by shithead CO'S) went in on an indiscriminate killing spree. These men said they had to do something. They were broken at the thought but pulled their weapons on their own fellow americans and ordered them to stop! Then went to help those fortunate folks that managed to hide/get away.
VN was a lie, never declared a war in the first place. The men were sent there with the same lack of resources and leadership. They were asked to do the damnedest things then left for shitheaps upon their return. My hubby is a Vet from that time: 101st Airborne, Screaming Eagles. He knows. It was HELL in Viet Nam. Their leaders on the ground were assholes in too many cases. The Generals did not know their ass from a hole in the ground. I praise Kerry for speaking up like he did. I marched in the Anti War protests of that time. I wasn't anti soldier, as many were, I was anti establishment (that was so irrationally freaked out with communism) and anti VIET NAM war.
The RW creeps/chickenhawks are so twisted and vile. Hell, just getting through boot camp is worthy of a medal!! Fercrissakes! So, yeah, tell those empty suits to PACK SAND!!
