The only thing I do find troublesome is that even though Nixon and Kissinger took a long time to get us out of Vietnam, the war was a Democrat led initiative, first started by JFK, who probably would not have escalated it, and then continued and expanded into the huge clusterf**k it became under LBJ. <br />I was around when Nixon was pretty much eviscerated by the press for first escalating the war himself, and then for the dishonorable appearance of his Peace with Honor method of withdrawal from the war, which allowed the systematic murder of huge numbers of South Vietnamese and others in the area by the Khmer Rouge. Laos and Cambodia were also victims of this genocide. Pol Pot was a brilliant tactician but a murderous piece of human garbage.<br />Thank you, Mike R, for your service. pigpen51https://www.blogger.com/profile/01036907880805485560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-67331134771278149622018-12-27T14:00:39.495-05:002018-12-27T14:00:39.495-05:00It's probably best for the military that he di...

Well okay it bothered me some. The thing that bothered me most was those who didn't go and grabbed every way they could to avoid going and then acted like they were some kind of gung ho, let's get them an and by that I mean you not me, and didn't just shut up annoyed me a lot. The head of the young americans for freedom group at the university I attended after returning home was one such creep. Parents had friends who got him into national guard. Boy howdy did he want the rest of us get down and dirty, cause those commies were coming here next. Fucking jerks.
