I have spoken to a Vietnam Vet; last night in fact; I have a special word for
him; I call him Dad. And you know what? Dad *never* killed defenseless women
and children in Vietnam. I take extreme umbrage with your statement. That was
a horrible war, but fought honorably and bravely by the vast majority of
Americans (and others - my dad has never been an American citizen, but fought
for the U.S. Army) who went to Hell out of no choice of their own. I find it
insulting to the hundreds of thousands of honorable Vietnam servicemen still
with us. Perhaps *you* should talk to some Vietnam Vets and/or the families of
the killed, maimed or missing before you dishonor their sacrifices.
