Then there were the soldiers from Australia and other countries. Millions of Vietnamese died in this totally unnecessary and senseless war.<br /><br />Having said that, many of our servicemen got seriously screwed up over there. I've known a number of them personally. As an American history teacher, I always spent a week dealing with this conflict and brought in soldiers who fought in Vietnam to share their experiences with the students.<br /><br />I agree that the sacrifices made by our servicemen and servicewomen should be noted. It's not their fault that cowardly politicians dragged them to hell and back for purposes that are simply incomprehensible today as they were then.<br /><br />And now, after these few years, we are "good friends" with Vietnam, even though it remains a Communist country. I think that's a good thing, but couldn't we have achieved this "friendship" without killing millions of innocents?<br /><br />Here endeth my message for the day! :-))Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.com
