Your younger initial takes at a young age were right. Believe me. I experienced some of your feelings you describe, I was born in 1952. Seeing a man grieve his wife's death. Seeing a president (Ford) presented in positive terms.
But the civilians who died in Vietnam, let alone Cambodia...dear God. And for nothing. Let alone our sons' and daughters' deaths.
I can say no more. Life's mysteries elude me but unheroic men and women portrayed as heroes eats at my dying belief in hummankind.
