Message: [QUOTE="BroadwayVa, post: 2350036, member: 6118"] Whether Vietnam was valid or not---(I think not) but that's up to historians. I know that my voice in the crowd is --hissing in the wind---I complained for all to read and see prior to Iraq--and was called every name known to man kind --and some by long time friends---and I'll complain loudly to send more to korea now---I'm in favor of bringing every last one home. Korea was my war---no we didn't walk away to a long march down broadway, neither did 100 cousins and my uncles and brothers--each came home alone from WW2, my flight from Treasure Island to NY was without fanfare --my wife met met --enough of a parade for me. We were forced to accept a political conclusion--by DC. Korea wasn't worth one American and they took 50,000. What bothers me more than anything is---the tactics the Chinese used and then the Vietnamese--was well known to our military for 10 years before Korea. Encircle and separate then decimate. I don't care if the war was right or wrong--can't change it or bring back the dead. I shall always support anyone who is sent to fight by our stupid government--the last time they were right was 1812. My voice now is to honor those that served be it WW1 or Afghanistan or anything in between--those kids don't always want to be there--drafted or volunteers-- [/QUOTE]
