Vietnam Vets - Thank you .. and PLEASE .. feel free to correct me.. like I state.. I am only a history buff. Strictly from a historian's viewpoint ~ more horrible and intense than anyone not experiencing combat can imagine. The enemy was underground or hidden in heavy vegetation shooting at them til there was no one left or they chose to leave. The enemy was man, woman, elder and child. The bombings took place in the bush, on the base and in the markets in town. And IF they survived their tour, they returned to a country that alternated from supporting them to hating them. Reports of the Mai Lai massacre and various other accidents or bad choices were televised and the actions of few were automatically attatched to all who participated whether they behaved honorably or not. Rotten food, feces, and insults were hurled at them as the disembarked from their trips in airports. The Horror of the battles followed them home, the disgraceful behavior of the public shamed those that did their duty and served. Now they STILL live in the shadow of those experiences and we have a long way to go to prove we truly appreciate their service. Some will never understand that we behaved poorly and that they are appreciated.
