Am I the only one who sees the irony in this?

McCain US should allow sale of defensive weapons to Vietnam - Tucson News Now

So, just after Memorial Day, when the government had set aside the day to honor, among others, 58,000 Americans killed, our political leaders now want to start arming the nation that killed them.

It is well that America fights it's wars with 18 to 26 year old kids. Once we get older than that, we wise up.

Well, we arm everyone else. We arm drug lords, terrorists, foreign governments, and rogue U.S. cops. So, what's the difference?

McCain is an idiot. I respect what he did for the country when he served but that doesn't excuse the stupidity he has shown as a politician.

Every country should have the ability to ward off evil invaders. Viet nam included.

The irony being the government is responsible for the 58,000 dead and then sets about recognizing and honoring them?

And that's exactly why they draft/recruit at that age. It certainly has nothing to do with physical abilities. You pluck them when they're the most vulnerable and the least intellectually equipped.

They were quite successful at doing this from 1954 to 1973.

Wars of choice aren't going away anytime soon. Guess when it's the government hurling the best citizens they have to offer into a meat-grinder somewhere, the least they can do is applaud them afterwords.

I'd have to agree with you on that. The generals in the pentagon portrayed that war as a cakewalk. They should have been strung up for that.
