I AM A VN VET!!!!
Do you know what makes me furious? What makes me furious is the fact that here we are 30+ years after my return to CONUS and there are STILL implications that I was a baby killer, committed atrocities, etc. What really rubs salt in the wound is that a lot of that stuff is being used by one of the people who spouted that crap in the first place to further his political career.
I dont care about who did what 35 years ago. I dont care that some got medals and some didn't. I dont care if someone was active duty, National Guard or Peace Corps.
What I DO care about is what is happening now and what will happen in the near future. I care about how the United States of America is going to handle the future. I care about how my grandchildren are going to have to live. All of that makes me VERY interested in what kind of person is going to occupy the White house in the next 4 years. It matters to me if we have a person of integrity, a person who will take a stand and stick by it, a person who is more interested in what is good for the country than what is good for his personal standing in politics.
Thanks for letting me vent. I feel better now.
